The Environship, which can be adapted for different ship types, incorporates a range of Rolls-Royce technologies to deliver efficiency savings for ship owners. These include a Bergen engine powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), the Promas combined rudder and propeller, a hybrid shaft generator to optimise use of electrical power and an innovative wave-piercing hull design.<\/p>\n
Tony Wood, president-marine, Rolls-Royce, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to receive this award for our Environship concept, another endorsement for our belief that only a combination of technologies will maximise environmental and efficiency gains. With a number of Environship vessels already in build, 2013 will be an exciting year, as this awarding winning concept takes to the seas.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first vessel built to the Environship standard is a fish-feed transporter currently under construction at the Vard Aukra shipyard in Norway, for the Eidsvaag shipping company. The vessel is due for delivery in May this year.<\/p>\n
In October, the first of two cargo ships for the Norwegian company Nor Lines, will be delivered by the Tsuji Heavy Industries (Jiangsu) Co Ltd in China.<\/p>\n
Gas powered passenger ship designs are also under development under a teaming agreement with Italian company Lauro Shipping.<\/p>\n
In 2011, Environship received the Next Generation Ship Award at the Nor-Shipping exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
