Retrofit solutions help contribute to decarbonization
More and more customers are facing the challenges of reducing the carbon footprint and NOx emissions of long-serving engines in line with the prospect of increasingly restrictive regulations around the world. A dual fuel retrofit is a sustainable solution to keeping the engines and vessels in service, so our customer decided to upgrade the existing MAN 48/60A engines to MAN 51/60DF, a leap of two generations in one.
With this retrofit, MAN is not only helping the customer to reduce NOx, SOx, CO2 and particulate emissions in gas mode to make Baleària’s LNG vessels ready for an HFO-free future, but also providing the customer with the commercial benefits of using LNG as a fuel. With the successful TOC (Taking Over Certificate) of vessel Sicilia at the beginning of August 2020, the first two Baleària LNG Ferries are now ready for passenger operation.
