KR has granted Approval in Principle (AIP) to an eco-friendly LNG fueled tugboat that KR Engineering is jointly developing. An AIP certificate verifies the suitability of a vessel’s basic design.
The vessel certified is being developed through the 2019 project of "development of a tugboat with eco-friendly 5,000 horsepower LNG fuel" led by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of Korea. KR Engineering has been selected as the project organizer and is jointly developing the tug through industrial-academic ties with KAIST(Korea Advanced Institute of Science) and SAMKWANG Shipbuilding & Engineering Co.
Unlike a conventional LNG tugboat, this vessel is low cost, highly efficienct and eco-friendly. It reduces emissions of nitrogen and sulfur compounds by more than 90 percent, and features , a newly designed customized layout of LNG storage tanks. Shipbuilding costs are reduced through improved building methods.
"We are pleased that KR Engineering's ability to design LNG-fueled tugboats is recognized," said Jang Kyeong-sik, CEO of KR Engineering, at the signing ceremony. "We will lead the domestic LNG-fueled tugboat market and expand its market to overseas."
"As an alternative to international regulations on air pollution emitted from ships, LNG-fueled ships are rapidly emerging," said Ha Tae-beom, executive vice president of KR's R&D division. “We hope this certification will pave the way for replacing old tugboats with LNG-fueled tugboats.”
KR Engineering is a comprehensive engineering company for the ship and port sectors and was established in 1997. It has been recognized by domestic and foreign customers for its high technical skills in areas such as ship design, consulting, and inspection and supervision of the shipping and port facilities sectors In 2011, the company designed the vessel, ECONURI, the first LNG-fueled vessel in Asia and is recognized that it has a special advantage in the field of eco-friendly ship design.
