In the picture above you can see Deen Shipping’s Argonon, the first inland barge which runs on LNG, bunkering together with the Amphiro, also owned by Deen Shipping.
Argonon has 2 standard Caterpillar 3512 engines that use approximately 20% diesel in order to ignite the gas mixture.
These engines have been modified by Pon Power so that the combustion air is enriched with natural gas.
This leads to a dual fuel engine needing less diesel to produce the required power and keeps the same stability and responsiveness in all conditions.
