Five Newly Container Vessels Design

1. Marlin-Class Container Ship Design The Marlin-class vessels are the world's first container ships powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG).The Marlin-class ships are designed to burn either fuel oil, or gas, derived from LNG, thereby significantly decreasing gaseous emissions and increasing fuel efficiency, when compared with conventionally powered ships. The clean-burning LNG fuel of the new Marlin-class vessels provide exceptional environmental benefits, such as considerable reductions in particulate matter (PM) by 99%, sulphur oxide (SOx) emissions by 98%, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 71% and nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions by 91%.

Triple-E Class Container Ships Design The Triple-E class is an improved and modified version of Emma Maersk, one of the largest active vessels in the world. Emma Maersk can carry 15,500TEU. Triple-E (EEE) stands for economy of scale, energy-efficient and environmentally ...
