Flexible and compact design
The vessel is designed for minimum ballast operations, due to its optimized shallow water hull shape. It has a reduced length and draft for operation within ports, fast loading and discharging (with a flow rate of 1000m3/h), and a design which optimizes its steel weight. The compact design ensures reduced operational and maintenance costs, as well as flexibility within the harbor environment.
The vessel is equipped with two bi-lobe IMO Type-C LNG tanks, two deep-well cargo pumps and a BOG management system. For ship-to-ship transfer operations, the vessel has an STS transfer system and an inert gas system.
The main propulsion system is dual-fuel driven and the bunker vessel is designed for operations in port, often in limited space or close to other vessels, so it has excellent maneuvering capabilities. If increased station-keeping is required, space reservation in the design allows for the addition of a retractable thruster at the bow. In addition, the vessel can be be equipped with a hybrid battery system and shore connections to enable charging in a harbor.
