First conversion of a slow-speed marine diesel engine to operate on ethane as a fuel

Green Car Congress

ABS has confirmed the successful conversion of a slow-speed marine diesel engine to operate on ethane as a fuel. The capability to burn efficiently ethane boil-off gas as engine fuel significantly reduces the need of gas re-liquefaction during the voyage. Earlier post.).
