solution. Beyond this, natural gas the engines easily ful? ll IMO Tier III emis- sion levels and because the propulsion drive line is fully gas-electric, it also provides for a quieter ride. In inland waters, this can be a big advantage.? STRIKING DESIGN ? MLC C OMPLIANT?The design of the LNG Green- stream Tanker is striking. Aside from the environmental advantages, much attention was paid to energy ef? ciency and a comfortable working environ- ment for the crew. The wheelhouse located at the bow is unusual in Eu- ropean river trades and enhances the pleasing lines of the vessel. According to Geert van Voorn, the design allows for more ef? cient propulsion through better trim and optimal weight dis- tribution. In increasingly crowded inland waters, the forward-positioned wheelhouse also provides deck of? cers with a better view of whats ahead. The spacious interior of the cockpit adds to the comfortable and well-de- signed workspace. Geert van Voorn, with an eye towards the MLC 2006 rules, adds, In the past, this was al- ways neglected. A pleasant working environment shows respect and has a positive in? uence on the motivation and productivity of people.? LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION WITH LNG-PACKS Located on the ships stern are two modules, the Peters LNG-Packs, con- taining four gas engines. This arrange- ment provides both capacity and more ? exible power consumption. When moving downstream, for example, less power is needed and the two modules ensure safety, redundancy in case of an engine failure and ef? cient main- tenance. The modular arrangement of the gas engines allows easy removal and prompt exchange of the Peters LNG- Positioning - for success. 8 cm accuracy worldwide (2 drms) High accuracy Heading/Pitch and Roll sensors GPS, GLONASS and GNSS solutions QA/QC NMEA outputs compliant with OGP 373-19 / IMCA S 015 Precise Stable & Reliable Easy to Install Angola Brazil Mexico Singapore South Africa United Kingdom USA www.cnav.com WORLD DGNSSStop Abrasion Now.
