23,000 TEU LNG Powered CMA CGM SORBONNE Launched

On June 29, 2021, CMA CGM SORBONNE, the latest in a series of nine 23,000 TEU vessels powered by liquefied natural gas joined the fleet of the CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics. A ceremony was held at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding under CSSC in Shanghai in the presence of Ludovic Renou, Chief Executive Officer of CMA CGM China, and the ship’s godmother, Jiang Dandan, a well-known philosopher and artist who teaches at Jiaotong University in Shanghai as well as at the Sorbonne in Paris.

By choosing to name the ship CMA CGM SORBONNE, the Group pays tribute to the world-renowned institution. A proud symbol of knowledge and of the excellence of teaching and academic research in France, the Sorbonne helps promote the country’s image all over the world.

In November 2017, Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the CMA CGM Group, made the pioneering decision to equip this series of 23,000 TEU container ships with LNG-powered engines, a first in the history of shipping for vessels of this size. This demonstrates the CMA CGM Group’s determination to support the transition to new energy sources in shipping.

LNG is currently the best solution available to reduce shipping’s carbon footprint and protect air quality. The fuel allows for a 99% reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions, a 91% reduction in fine particles and a 92% reduction in nitrogen dioxide emissions, well beyond current regulatory requirements. LNG also offers an initial response to combating climate change.

Between now and the end of 2024, 44 of the Group’s vessels will be powered by LNG. This technology is one of the first steps towards achieving the CMA CGM Group’s target to become carbon neutral by 2050.

BioLNG Production Project to be Set up at French Port

EveRé, operator of the multi-process household waste treatment plant commissioned by Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence, the CMA CGM Group Elengy, a subsidiary of Engie, operating liquefied natural gas terminals at Fos-sur-Mer and TotalEnergies, a global multi-energy company that produces and supplies energy, have joined forces to study the feasibility of creating France’s first production unit for liquefied biomethane, a low-carbon alternative fuel dedicated to energy transition in the shipping industry.

Produced by converting the biodegradable part of household waste from the Marseille Provence region, BioLNG would allow for the decarbonization of shipping services departing from the Grand Port Maritime in Marseille and would be used primarily for the CMA CGM Group’s LNG-powered vessels. BioLNG, combined with the dual-fuel gas engine technology developed by CMA CGM, reduces greenhouse gas emissions (including carbon dioxide) by at least 67% relative to well-to-wake VLSFO (the complete value chain). On the basis of a tank-to-wake measurement (at vessel level), greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 88%. Liquefied natural gas allows for a 99% reduction in sulfur oxide emissions, a 91% reduction in fine particles emissions and a 92% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions. By the end of 2024, 44 of the CMA CGM Group’s vessels will be powered by LNG.

The project fits perfectly into the local ecosystem, benefiting from the particularly well-suited and already existing infrastructure at the Grand Port Maritime, including EveRé’s waste methanization unit, Elengy’s LNG terminals, which will be used for the storage and delivery of the BioLNG, TotalEnergies’ bunker vessel, which will be located at the port as of January 2022, and CMA CGM’s fleet of LNG-powered vessels. The feasibility study has been launched within the framework of this large-scale project, which corresponds with the national drive to promote BioLNG as defined in France’s Mobility Orientation Law.

The CMA CGM Group, Engie and TotalEnergies have already been working together for several months as part of the Coalition for the Energy of the Future, which aims to step up the pace of development of future energy sources and technologies and to support new sustainable mobility models, thereby reducing the environmental impact of transportation and logistics.

In order to make true technological revolutions possible and achieve tangible results by 2030, the Coalition has set three main targets:

1. To considerably increase clean energy supply sources;

2. To reduce energy consumption per equivalent kilometer transported;

3. To reduce the proportion of emissions attributable to transportation and logistics.

Vopak en Aegis slaan handen ineen voor LPG-opslag in India

Door ABM Financial News op maandag 12 juli 2021
Views: 1.740

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) Vopak slaat de handen ineen met Aegis voor de opslag van LPG en chemicaliën in India. Dit maakte het tankopslagbedrijf maandagavond bekend.

De joint venture Aegis Vopak Terminals zal een netwerk van acht terminals beheren in de vijf strategische havens aan de oost- en westkust van India. Met een totale capaciteit van 960.000 kubieke meter wordt het bedrijf een van de grootste onafhankelijke tankopslagfirma's voor LPG en chemicaliën in India.

Vopak krijgt een belang van 49 procent in Aegis Vopak Terminals. Vopaks bestaande terminal in Kandla zal een volledig onderdeel worden van de joint venture. Aegis brengt een netwerk van terminals op vijf verschillende locaties in. Daarnaast verwerft Vopak een belang van 24 procent in Hindustan Aegis LPG. Dit is nu nog een joint venture tussen Aegis en Itochu. Na de aankoop van het belang door Vopak, bezit Aegis 51 procent in Hindustan Aegis LPG en Itochu blijft een belang van 25 procent aanhouden.

De waarde van het belang in beide joint ventures zal 185 miljoen euro bedragen plus mogelijk 15 miljoen euro als aan bepaalde voorwaarden wordt voldaan. Voor de joint venture trokken Vopak en Aegis een financiering aan van 153 miljoen euro. Vopaks bijdrage zal onder de streep uitkomen op circa 100 miljoen euro, plus eventueel 15 miljoen euro. Daarbovenop zal Vopak nog een bedrag betalen van 18 tot 40 miljoen euro aan Aegis.

De omzet van beide joint ventures zal naar verwachting jaarlijks groeien met 6 procent in de eerste vijf jaar. De omzet uit LPG zal ongeveer 75 procent uitmaken van de totale omzet van de joint venture. De EBITDA zal grofweg in lijn met de omzet groeien richting 2026. Bovendien zitten er nog enkele groeiprojecten in de pijplijn, aldus Vopak.

De deal zal in de eerste jaren slechts marginaal bijdragen aan de winst per aandeel voor Vopak.

De transactie zal naar verwachting begin 2022 worden afgerond.

KONGSBERG Propulsion & Automation Package for Bulk Carrier

Kongsberg Maritime has been commissioned to deliver comprehensive integrated equipment and systems package for an ambitious and environmentally-responsible new bulk carrier project. The gas-powered ship, which can be fuelled using either zero CO2 emission LBG (Liquefied Biogas) or conventional LNG, is being built for the Norwegian short sea shipping company Seaworks, utilising a design which originated with Norway’s leading vessel architects, Polarkonsult. Having been impressed with KONGSBERG’s products, services and support on previous commercial marine projects, Polarkonsult approached KM with a view to supplying a propulsion system and LNG engine for the new bulk carrier. During the consultation, KM proposed an integrated solution which would enhance operational efficiency and prove far more cost-effective than separate systems, and this is the approach which has been agreed upon.

KM’s scope of delivery for the newbuild bulk carrier is extensive. The mechanical aspects of the integrated solution encompass steering and reduction gear, bow and stern thrusters, the rudder, a controllable pitch propeller system and a Bergen gas main engine. On the electrical and digital side, the delivery includes energy and power management systems, an energy storage unit, an electro package and a K-Chief marine automation system for monitoring and control of all key vessel functions.

The bulk carrier is now being constructed in Wuhu, China after a careful tendering process saw 15 shipyards throughout Europe and China bidding for the contract. Pandemic restrictions unavoidably slowed down the contract negotiations, resulting in a few months’ delay to the original schedule. Nevertheless, all parties concerned have shown unflagging determination to see the project through, and construction is now back on track.

Volkswagen to Switch to Low Emission Logistics with LNG Ships

Volkswagen is the first automaker to transport most of its new vehicles overseas using low-emission LNG ships. After the first two LNG car carriers entered service in 2020, Volkswagen Group Logistics has now ordered four more ships with dual-fuel engines that can be powered with environmentally friendly liquid gas. They should be traveling the world’s oceans by the end of 2023, serving the North American route between Emden in Germany and Veracruz in Mexico. On the return trip, the LNG ships will transport new vehicles destined for Europe. Soon, six of the nine car carriers crossing the North Atlantic for Volkswagen will be powered by LNG.

The further decarbonization of shipping will result in substantial CO2 reductions, with the use of liquid gas enabling Volkswagen to cut the ships’ CO2 emissions by up to 25 percent (tank-to-wake). “In line with the Group’s commitment to e-mobility and climate-neutral production, the LNG fleet used by Logistics represents a major contribution to making Volkswagen net carbon neutral by 2050,” says Simon Motter, Head of Volkswagen Group Logistics.

Volkswagen was one of the first car manufacturers to subscribe to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement that aim to limit global warming to significantly less than two degrees by 2050. The Volkswagen Group has therefore committed to e-mobility as well as to the sustainable production and use of new electric vehicles. The company follows the principle of focusing first on the avoidance of CO2 emissions and then on reducing emissions as far as possible. Only unavoidable emissions are offset by climate protection measures.

In Germany, the Group has already switched all rail transport with Deutsche Bahn to green electricity and is extending this to transport throughout Europe. On coastal routes, the Group already operates two car carriers with biofuel produced from plant-based residues such as waste oil from the food industry. This has resulted in an 85-percent reduction in CO2emissions (well-to-wake).

Exclusive long-term agreements have been signed with shipowners Wallenius Marine and SFL Corporation for the use of the four new car carriers on the North Atlantic route. The state-of-the-art ships are being built in China. They each have a capacity of around 7,000 CEU (car equivalent units), which corresponds to between 4,400 and 4,700 vehicles from the Volkswagen Group’s model mix. The ships will be powered by 13,300 kW dual-fuel engines from MAN Energy Solutions and, in eco-speed mode, will be able to travel at speeds of 15 to 16 knots (28 to 30 km/h).

In contrast to other LNG-powered marine engines, the two-stroke engines from MAN Energy Solutions use a high-pressure technology that results in virtually no methane slip, making the ships chartered by Group Logistics especially climate-friendly. The two LNG ships that came into service in 2020 are also equipped with this climate-friendly technology, which was a key factor in choosing these ships.

MOL's Phoenix Tankers Orders LPG Fuelled VLGCs for LPG & Ammonia

Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd announced that its group company Phoenix Tankers Pte Ltd signed a deal with Namura Shipbuilding Co Ltd for construction of two very large gas carriers to transport liquefied petroleum gas and ammonia. Namura Shipbuilding will construct the two vessels at its Imari Shipyard, under a technical tie-up with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co Ltd. The vessels, which can also run on LPG fuel, are slated for delivery in succession after 2023.

LOA - 230.0m

Breadth - 36.6m

Draft - 12.0m

Capacity - About 87,000m3

Main Engine - Mitsui-MAN 6G60ME-C10.5-LGIP

LPG, as fuel, can reduce CO2 emissions by about 20%, and SOx, PM, and so on by about 90% in comparison with fuel oil. The new carriers are designed to maximize fuel efficiency, and are cutting-edge environmental-friendly vessels in conformity with EEDI Phase 3 which will be applicable for VLGCs contracted after 2022.

Ammonia is drawing attention as a next-generation clean fuel that does not emit carbon dioxide when burned, and as "hydrogen carrier" that can be used to transport hydrogen. The newly ordered vessels are also designed to transport ammonia, and are presently the world's largest-scale ammonia carriers. Furthermore, the vessels will be built with an eye toward conversion to ammonia fuelled in the future because LPG and ammonia fuels have similar characteristics.

Gazprom Neft Completes Building LNG Bunkering Vessel

Construction of Russia’s first ever bunkering vessel for natural gas refuelling of cargo and passenger ships is now complete: the final stage of building the Dmitry Mendeleev having involved testing of gas and cryogenic (freezing) equipment, loading systems, and LNG storage and offloading pumps and compressors. The vessel will shortly begin its maiden voyage towards its fixed berthing in the Baltic Sea. This bunkering vessel, named after the great Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleev, will provide ship-to-ship LNG transportation and refuelling at ports throughout the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea, including St Petersburg, Ust-Luga, Primorsk, Kaliningrad and Vyborg.

The vessel is 100 metres in length, 19 metres wide, and can transport up to 5,800 m3 of liquid natural gas. Its Arc4 ice-class reinforced hull means it can navigate one-year-old ice (of up to 80 cm thick). The latest shipbuilding and LNG transportation technologies have been utilised on the Dmitry Mendeleev project, in line with the most recent environmental standards governing maritime transport and LNG refuelling processes. The Dmitry Mendeleev is also environmentally friendly, in that it will be using tank-return gas (TRG or “boil-off” gas) from transported cargo as fuel for its onboard power plant. All LNG-bunkering equipment is fully compliant with MARPOL and ECO-S environmental standards. Its integrated digital system means the vessel can be controlled by just one crew member, directly from the navigation bridge.
