Building on the success of recent MaK diesel engine dual fuel retrofit conversions, Caterpillar Marine is currently underway on another dual fuel engine retrofit conversion onboard the 472 foot Fure West tanker, owned by Furetank Rederi A/B.
The MaK M 43 C diesel engine onboard the tanker will be retrofitted in hull to the 7 cylinder M 46 dual fuel platform, with each cylinder offering 900 kW of rated power. Additionally, Caterpillar is also supplying the complete gas system for the tanker, including bunker stations, 2x LNG tanks measuring 4.15 meters by 24 meters and the vaporizer.
The project is backed by the European Union and developed with the Zero Vision Tool. More details on this project will be published in Skipsrevyen’s September issue.
