The marine SG pure gas engine represents the lowest total cost of ownership with the lowest environmental footprint for operation in areas with a secured gas supply, for example on fixed short routes where gas bunkering infrastructure is available.
Compared to DF machinery configuration, the SG typically offers a 5% reduction in OPEX due to reduced maintenance and a lower fuel bill, a further 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to the already low emission levels of the DF and a potential 5% reduction in total system investment cost.
