A dual-fuel LNG shuttle tanker1 ordered by Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers AS,2 which is an affiliate of NYK, was delivered at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. The vessel has been named “Sindre Knutsen.”
Like its sister ship “Frida Knutsen,” which was delivered on 2 August, this vessel will be a dual-fuel shuttle tanker that can use not only heavy fuel oil but also LNG. The ship will use LNG fuel, which is more environmentally friendly than conventional oil-fuel and will be equipped with a VOC recovery system3 and an energy storage system,4 thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The vessel will be chartered to ENI Trade & Biofuels S.p.A, a subsidiary of Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi S.p.A (ENI),5 and will be engaged in oil transportation in the North Sea and Barents Sea.
