In this thesis it is studied according to the literature review and my personal research
the application of fuel LNG ships Ro-Pax, as it is defined by the title ("The
implementation of LNG as fuel in the Ro-Pax shipping").
Although the availability of natural gas LNG at international level remains high, the
growth rate in oil levels down. Moreover, the evolution of the global network of
existing and planned LNG supply facilities and the development of the LNG carrier
fleet is significant with respect to the supply of ships using LNG. However, they
require a dense network because of supply flexibility of terminals for liquefied gas or
small tankers.
According to classification societies and research of marine machinery manufacturers,
application LNG helps reduce exhaust emissions, making it a viable alternative
embodiment, even for hybrid marine engine models, which produce zero emissions of
pollutants. Of course, first is a fuel efficient shipping, secondly we should not
overlook the conversion costs or installation of the machine, the cost of the storage
container, operating costs, maintenance costs and end the environmental costs in the
context of upcoming MBM (environmental charge or stock exchange of pollutants).
In general, then, is an attractive proposition, especially in vessels intended to travel in
specially protected areas (ECA, SECA) (Hardy & Basdanis, 2013).
