江南造船氨燃料动力中型液化气船获LR原则性认证！

近日英国劳氏船级社（LR）向EXMAR公司颁发了氨燃料（NH3）动力40000立方米中型液化气体运输船(MGC）的原则性认可证书（AIP），这是船舶替代燃料发展的一个重要里程碑。该船型（Panda 40P MGC）由江南造船研发设计，氨燃料供应系统由瓦锡兰气体解决方案公司提供相关方案。

本次对新技术的评估按照LR船舶分类和散装液化气体运输规则（适用于气体船）及散装运输液化气体船舶建造和设备国际规范（IGC规则），对设计基本面进行了全面审查。

船东简介

EXMAR公司创立于1829年，总部位于比利时安特卫普，为综合性航运及能源供应链供应商。拥有30艘LPG船、2艘大型海工居住/工作平台、1艘LNG船、1艘FLNG及1艘FSRU，同时还为第三方管理多艘LPG、LNG和FSRU等。

2019年4月，EXMAR与江南签署2艘86000立方米LPG双燃料超大型液化气船（Panda 86P VLGC）造船合同。该2艘船舶目前建造中，将于今年交付。

LR工程系统全球负责人Ed Fort表示：

“劳氏船级社非常自豪地向EXMAR公司授予氨燃料中型液化气体运输船的原则性认可，通过向客户就新设计提供支持，体现了我们对航运业的一贯承诺。这是航运界使用替代燃料向零碳排放推进的一个重要里程碑，证明了用氨作为燃料的可能性，以及和气体运输船的适配性，特别是在将氨作为货物运输的情况下。”

EXMAR公司执行董事Jens Ismar表示：

“这项原则性认可是发展低二氧化碳排放气体运输船过程中的一个重要里程碑。EXMAR通过展示在气体运输船上使用氨作为燃料的可能性，持续朝着进一步创新和脱碳的方向迈进。在此之前，EXMAR于2012年引入LPG燃料的倡议，并且订造了世界上第一个LPG双燃料订单，该订单的2艘LPG双燃料VLGC目前正在建造中。”

瓦锡兰市场销售总监Kjell Ove Ulstein表示：

“此次连同EXMAR、江南造船和劳氏船级社推进氨燃料MGC，是朝着使船队脱碳的方向迈出的重要一步。在AIP过程中，我们提供了瓦锡兰开发的氨燃料系统的详细信息，还联合进行了必要的研究，以评估系统的准备情况。我们很自豪能够在劳氏船级社授予AIP方面发挥自己的作用。”

江南造船科技委主任胡可一表示：

“江南正在不断努力寻找切实可行的碳中和、零碳运输解决方案。作为领先的液化气体运输船造船厂，江南与劳氏船级社及瓦锡兰合作，向EXMAR等知名船东提供气体燃料液化气体运输船。我们相信，这艘以氨为燃料的中型液化气体运输船项目不仅是一艘极低二氧化碳排放船舶，并将成为满足国际海事组织2050温室气体减排要求发展路线上的一个重要里程碑。”

Lloyd’s Register (LR) has awarded an Approval in Principle to EXMAR for its ammonia (NH3) fuelled 40,000 m3 Midsize Gas Carrier, a significant milestone for the progression of alternative fuels in shipping. Jiangnan Shipyard was responsible for the ship design while W?rtsil? Gas Solutions provided all input for the ammonia fuel gas supply system.The Novel Technology Evaluation included an overall examination of fundamental aspects of the design and compliance with LR’s Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Ships and for the Carriage of Liquefied Gases in Bulk (for Gas Ships), incorporating the International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code).A risk assessment was also conducted, using EXMAR’s extensive knowledge and experience of operating Ammonia carriers, to ensure that risks arising from the use of ammonia fuel affecting persons onboard, the structural strength or the integrity of the ship are addressed in accordance with LR’s ShipRight Procedure for Risk-Based Designs (RBD). This included a Hazard Identification (HAZID) study which led to the Approval in Principle.Ed Fort, LR’s Global Head of Engineering Systems, said: “Lloyd’s Register is immensely proud to have awarded EXMAR Approval in Principle for its ammonia-fuelled Medium Gas Carrier, demonstrating our commitment to shipping by supporting clients with novel designs. This is a significant milestone in progressing alternative fuels for shipping’s transition to zero-carbon, proving the possibility of the use of ammonia as a fuel and how adaptable the fuel is to gas carriers, especially if carrying ammonia as cargo.”Jens Ismar, Executive Director Shipping at EXMAR, said: “This approval in principle is an important milestone in the process of developing low CO2 emission gas carriers. EXMAR continues its steps towards further innovation and decarbonisation by demonstrating the possibility of using ammonia as fuel onboard gas carriers. This follows EXMAR’s initiative of introducing LPG as a fuel in 2012 which is being implemented on our world’s first order of two dual fuel VLGCs currently under construction.” “This work, together with EXMAR, Jiangnan and Lloyd’s Register for an Ammonia fuelled MGC, is an important step along the road towards decarbonising the shipping fleet. During the AiP process, we have provided the details for the Ammonia fuel system developed by WGS and also jointly conducted required studies for evaluating the readiness of the systems. We are proud to have played our part in having the AiP granted from Lloyd’s Register,” said Kjell Ove Ulstein (Director Sales and Marketing) at W?rtsil? Gas Solutions.Hu Keyi, Chief of Corporate Technology of Jiangnan Shipyard, said: “Jiangnan is continuously making the effects to find practical solutions for carbon neutral and zero carbon transportation. Jiangnan, as leading gas carrier shipbuilder in China, has cooperated with LR and WGS, to deliver gas fuelled gas carriers to reputable ship owners, like EXMAR. We believe this project of ammonia-fuelled Medium Gas Carrier is not only a low CO2 emission ship, but it will be also a significant landmark on the roadmap of IMO 2050 for abating green house gas.”
