Abstract
Liquefied Natural Gas, compared to conventional ship fuels, offers substantial reduction in NOX, SOX and particulates, but its costs are uncertain. Based on the study jointly made by Germanischer Lloyd and MAN Diesel & Turbo, this paper analyzes cost factors of LNG as fuel for container vessels and calculates cargo space losses resulting from LNG's low density. Calculation results show that cargo space losses are about 1.5%~2% of the total container volume. The results can be used as references for selecting LNG as ship fuel.
