Optimum Position Study of LNG Fueled System Considering Characteristics of AHTS Vessel

AHTS 선박의 특성을 고려한 LNG 연료공급시스템 최적위치 연구

While environmental concern is urging shipbuilding industry to reduce pollutant emission, it is necessary to design environmental friendly vessels. LNG as fuel for ship propulsion is proven to be effective way to reduce pollutant emission. In this study, we find optimum position of LNG fuel supply system on AHTS by considering vessel characteristic. Three different positions of fuel supply system are studied in this paper. Factors such as stability, strength and safety are examined in each position of fuel supply system.
