Taylor-Wharton said it was chosen to provide a complete onboard LNG Fuel System including two 255m3 Type C storage tanks for Sweden’s Furetank Rederi.
Furetank is seeking to comply with international environmental rules for low sulfur emissions by converting an oil and chemical cargo tanker, 472 foot Fure West. The Joint Industries Project “LNG-CONV” will convert the main engine to consume clean burning natural gas.
Taylor-Wharton will manufacture the tanks, bunkering skids, vaporization skids and control system for Fure West in Kosice, Slovakia. Twin 255-cubic-meter (67,360-gallon) tanks will be installed and will power the main MaK 7M46DF engine and at least one of the three Caterpillar 3058 auxiliary engines will be altered to use LNG fuel as well.
