RINA and Marine Engineering Services (M.E.S.), a leading company in ship design, have signed an agreement to cooperate on chemical tankers concepts that will use alternative fuels.
M.E.S. will provide its competence in designing high-tech gas and chemical tankers with new technologies; whilst RINA will share its expertise for the energy transition towards the compliance with IMO's decarbonization goals.
Within the agreement, we will cooperate on three innovative ship designs:
- 13.000 Dwt CMBV (Chemical Tanker & Methanol Bunkering Vessel), a chemical tanker fueled by methanol also able to supply bunkering of methanol fuel to other vessels;
- 13.000 Dwt LNG Dual-Fuel chemical tanker designed as “Ammonia-Ready”, capable of being retrofit as ammonia-fueled ship in the future;
- 13.000 Dwt LNG Dual-Fuel chemical tanker designed as “LPG-Ready”, capable of being retrofit as LPG-fueled ship in the future.
