MAN Cryo FGSS for Italian ferry

The system from MAN Cryo, formed following the acquisition of Cryo AB last year, comprises a 150m3 vacuum-insulated storage tank with auxiliary equipment, including an LNG vaporizer, pressure build-up unit, bunker station and heat exchanger. The FGSS will supply gas to the ferry´s three dual-fuel propulsion engines and is scheduled for delivery in November 2017.

As reported, the ferry has been designed by LMG Marin. It is 133m loa, 21.5m wide and will have capacity for 290 cars (on two vehicle decks) and 1,500 passengers. It will sail primarily between Messina and the Sicilian port of Villa San Giovanni.
