Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) has not too long ago labeled the “Power Stockholm”, the biggest inland waterway liquefied pure fuel (LNG) bunker barge inbuilt Europe up to now. This newly delivered vessel, owned and operated by LNG Transport, a three way partnership between Sogestran and Victrol, has a capability of 8,000 m³.
With an general size of 135 meters, a breadth of twenty-two meters, and a design draft of 4 meters, the “Power Stockholm” has been labeled by Bureau Veritas as Tanker Sort G, Double Hull, Electrical Hybrid (Zero Emission), Twin Gas, with the extra notation “Estuary Plus”, permitting it to function between the Western Scheldt and the Zeebrugge Harbour inside 5 nautical miles from shore with Annual Survey, and compliant with the European Settlement In regards to the Worldwide Carriage of Harmful Items by Inland Waterways (ADN).
The vessel includes a dual-fuel propulsion system that may use cargo boil-off fuel, bettering its operational effectivity. Additionally it is the primary LNG bunker barge to make the most of battery know-how and shore energy, which helps scale back greenhouse fuel emissions. Designed by Worldwide Naval Engineering Consultants (INEC) and constructed on the RMK Marine shipyard in Tuzla, Türkiye, the tanks and cargo dealing with techniques are equipped by Fuel & Warmth (Italy).
