Linde to supply LNG fuel gas system to new high-speed ferry
April 10, 2015 + + +
Technology company The Linde Group, via its Swedish Engineering subsidiary
Cryo AB, has been awarded a contract by Meyer Turku Shipyard of Finland to
build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel gas system for the
next-generation high-speed ferry being built for AS Tallink Grupp. The
ferry will operate in the Baltic Sea between Helsinki, Finland and
Tallinn, Estonia and has been designed to comply with the European
Emission Control Area (ECA) limits thanks to the use of LNG as fuel.
Lars Persson, Managing
Director of Cryo AB, said: "With this project, AS Tallink Grupp and the
marine industry takes an important step to contribute to a green Baltic
Sea. We are very proud to have been awarded this prestigious contract by
Meyer Turku, which shows once again the strong market recognition for our
LNG solutions, which are designed to meet the future needs of large
roll-on/roll-off passenger vessels."
The advanced LNG fuel
gas system consists of two horizontal, vacuum-insulated 300 m³ tanks plus
gas handling and control systems. It will supply natural gas to the
vessel's dual-fuel engines. The ship's superior service speed of 27 knots
is partly attributable to its highly innovative hull shape, engineered
specifically to increase fuel efficiency. The ship has a capacity of 2,850
passengers and will be delivered at the start of 2017.

Linde plays an active role in the growing
popularity of LNG as a low-emission fuel. In June last year, the Finnish
Transport Agency commissioned Cryo AB to build an LNG fuel gas system for
a new icebreaker. In Nynäshamn, south of Stockholm, Linde built Sweden's
first LNG terminal in 2011. In 2012, Linde and marine fuel specialist
Bomin founded a joint venture company, Bomin Linde LNG, which is
developing a supply chain for LNG as marine fuel including the provision
of required infrastructure.
In the 2014 financial
year, The Linde Group generated revenue of EUR 17.047 bn, making it the
largest gases and engineering company in the world with approximately
65,500 employees working in more than 100 countries worldwide. The
strategy of The Linde Group is geared towards long-term profitable growth
and focuses on the expansion of its international business with
forward-looking products and services. Linde acts responsibly towards its
shareholders, business partners, employees, society and the environment -
in every one of its business areas, regions and locations across the
globe. The company is committed to technologies and products that unite
the goals of customer value and sustainable development.
Under the "Clean
Technology by Linde" label, the company offers a wide range of products
and technologies that help to render renewable energy sources financially
viable, and significantly slow down the depletion of fossil resources or
reduce the level of CO2 emitted. This ranges from specialty gases for
solar module manufacturing, industrial-scale CO2 separation and
application technologies to alternative fuels and energy carriers such as
liquefied natural gas (LNG) and hydrogen.
