Next Generation LNG and alternative Bunker Vessel . The numbers of low carbon fueled vessels coming in operation is exponential, and the shipping industry’s demand for bunker vessels is following suit. The type and size of bunker vessel the market demands are not a sophisticated multi-purpose vessel, but a serially produced, fit-for-purpose “workhorse”. Even though this vessel is simplified to reduce the last-mile cost for fuel deliveries, it has several innovative features included, or as selectable options: -Battery Hybrid solution; -Carrying alternative fuels as Ammonia and Methanol; -Using alternative fuels as ammonia, methanol, or hydrogen; -Ultra-low emissions vessel. Taking advantage of Schulte Groups own in-house and past experience, we have developed such a vessel in close cooperation and Joint Venture with the Ship designer TECHNOLOG Services GmbH, Hamburg. The key features are: -Safety – The vessel design, inherently and naturally allows for safe operation.; -Compatibility – Compatible with any low carbon fuelled vessel, large or small, featuring protruding lifeboats or not; -ECO friendly - Prepared for future stringent requirements – Zero-Carbon; -Ballast-free operations design; -Conditioning and Servicing of LNG Fueled vessels bunker tanks – vessel equipped with system for fast and efficient inerting and warm-up of client vessels tanks - for example in preparations for special survey or emergency docking; -Low CAPEX and OPEX – To minimize ‘last-mile’ cost surcharge of last leg fuel deliveries; -Scalable – The basic version is technically prepared options such as; alternative fuel, battery hybrid solution, sub-coolers, GCUs, forward bunker manifolds, alternative fender solutions and upper manifolds; -Future proofing – The vessel has options allowing for Methanol and Ammonia conversion. Our paper walks through lessons learned from past and present hands-on practical experiences – both highs’ and lows’ and explores the key features for next generation LNG and “Low carbon” bunker vessels.
