Oshima debuts multi-fuel bulker design
Japan’s Oshima Shipbuilding has debuted a ship design for a bulk carrier capable of running on multiple fuels. ClassNK has issued approval in principle (AiP) for a concept design of the vessel capable of running on ammonia, methanol or LNG and featuring a carbon capture system.<em>Splash</em> reported earlier this month on a South Korean company displaying its recently patented design for a bunkering vessel that can deliver multiple fuels. Sun Comprehensive Energy’s bunker vessel (pictured below) can deliver LNG, methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen from a single ship – fuels that have very different densities and temperatures.
