The market demands for larger freight volumes are pushing the LNG industry towards larger vessels, new concepts and new technical solutions. Alternative machinery installations are being investigated including one steam turbine, one/two slow speed diesel(s), one/two dual fuel engine(s), one/two gas turbine(s) and one/two diesel electric installation(s). Twin skeg is one alternative propulsion solution for larger LNG ships. In this paper, operational analysis, manoeuvrability, risk assessment and performance of the LNG twin skeg concept will be discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
