Medium Speed Gas Engine


Targeting to Marine

Background
Nowadays, regulation of exhaust emission from engines is
becoming more strict year by year in the marine field, and it is
difficult to fulfill the regulation by diesel engine itself.

Gas fuelled engines emit low NOx, therefore it is possible to


satisfy the regulation by the engine itself. One of solution)

engine.
The engine can operate as an ordinary diesel engine and also as a gas engine.
Even if one of the gas supply components malfunctions while operating in the
gas mode, the ship can continue running by switching the engine to the diesel
mode.

The dual-fuel engine provides


redundancy for the ships
propulsion system, which is one
of the most important features
for safety operation.

Conclusion

In gas mode, finally NOx emission of IMO Tier was


succeeded.

Transient performance comparable to diesel engine


was achieved in gas mode

Niigata will deliver newly developed dual fuel engine to


Japans first LNG fuelled ship.
This is the worlds first built pure mechanical driven FPP
LNG fuelled ship.
