PERFECt II - Second phase brings additional partners for piston free LNG container vessel
Project partners GTT, CMA CGM (and its subsidiary CMA Ships) and DNV GL signed a cooperation agreement with new project participants ABB, the Caterpillar company Solar Turbines, and OMT for phase two of the highly successful PERFECt project. The Piston Engine Room Free Efficient Containership project investigates the possibility of using a combined gas and steam turbine system (COGAS) to power an ultra large container vessel (ULCS). The first phase of the project performed by GTT, CMA Ships and DNV GL showed promising results with regard to the commercial competitiveness of the design compared to a LNG-fuelled ship with conventional propulsion system. The aim of the second phase of the project is to detail the technical concept and the commercial feasibility.

"CMA CGM and its subsidiary CMA Ships position themselves as pioneers by contributing to this worldwide leading innovation. We are glad to be part of the second phase of the PERFECt project, which aims at ensuring the best efficiency of this innovative vessel design," says Ludovic Gerard, Executive Vice President CMA Ships. "The COGAS system with electrical propulsion gives us a great deal of freedom in the general arrangement and in tailoring the installed power to the real operational requirements we are facing. New partners will bring their expertise to go further than the initial concept," he adds.
"GTT is pleased to collaborate with key technical and industrial players to develop the PERFECt project. The results of the first phase prove not only that the project is technically and economically viable, but also that the proven technologies can been deployed to make the PERFECt project a reality", says Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT.
"We are very excited to be part of the PERFECt project. ABB technology is already powering the first LNG-powered ice breaker and cruise ship, and we look forward to exploring its possibilities for container vessels," says Juha Koskela, Managing Director of ABB's Marine and Ports business.
“The PERFECt Ship consortium is unique in that it brings all parties together towards one common goal of efficient cargo transportation,” says Ennodio Ramos, Vice President, Power Generation and Strategic Growth of Solar Turbines Inc. (a Caterpillar Company). “In the future, LNG will play a major role as both a marine and low emissions fuel. Gas turbines burn LNG in a clean and efficient manner exceeding any current marine emission restrictions and provide a safe margin for future cleaner ships. Solar Turbines looks forward to participating in this consortium,” he adds. “Our customers are asking for solutions to improve vessel efficiency, drive down operating costs and maintain leading-edge up time,” Nigel Parkinson, Caterpillar Marine Managing Director, notes. “The expertise of our Caterpillar Marine experts from the Gas Technology Group out of Caterpillar Motoren GmbH & Co. KG, Kiel, and together with all project partners, Caterpillar Marine is prepared to offer solutions to our customers today to help them achieve this goal.”
“We are pleased to be part of the PERFECt project, which brings together leading maritime companies for joint innovation. It is very exciting to investigate the potential of a combined gas and steam turbine system in large containerships, and we trust that the project will result in a good and competitive ship design for the future,” says Thomas Eefsen, Business Development Director for Containerships at OMT.
“It is a real pleasure to see top industry names take an interest in driving forward an innovative project like PERFECt,” says Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL – Maritime. “As LNG bunkering stations continue to grow in numbers and global coverage, projects that push the efficiency envelope on LNG-powered vessels could result in significant market advantages for first movers.”
PERFECt phase two will build on the results of the original study which was launched in 2015, utilizing the technical expertise of the project partners to further optimize the overall design. Some of the focus areas for phase two are: process technology optimization of the COGAS system including the steam turbine, use of the available cooling capacity of the LNG, and further optimization of the ship design to attain greater efficiency and increased cargo capacity.
“This MOU brings a new set of expert capabilities to a project that has already delivered very promising results. Our object with phase two is to work towards a design concept with a sufficient level of technical depth for a purchasing decision,” says Gerd Würsig, Business Director LNG fuelled Ships at DNV GL – Maritime.
In phase one of the project GTT, CMA CGM (and its subsidiary CMA Ships) and DNV GL released a technical and feasibility study for a COGAS-powered LNG-fuelled electrically driven mega box ship. Based on the results of that study, the PERFECt vessel design was found to offer potentially increased cargo capacity, greater layout flexibility and reduced maintenance costs than comparable conventionally powered HFO and LNG designs.

GoodFuels Marine and Boskalis have successfully tested UPM's sustainable wood-based biofuel for marine fleet
Boskalis, the leading global dredging and marine expert, and GoodFuels Marine, the leading provider of sustainable marine biofuels to the global commercial shipping fleet, today announced the successful performance of live tests on a sustainable wood-based drop-in biofuel called UPM BioVerno.
The fuel supplied by Finnish UPM Biofuels is the first ever biofuel derived from wood residue used in a marine fleet.
Boskalis vessel "EDAX", a 1696 deadweight tonne (DWT) cutter suction dredger, has successfully used the fuel in bio/fossil blends going up to 50% as it worked on phase one of the Marker Wadden project in the first half of 2016. This resulted in a CO2 saving of 600Mt over the operating period.
The €33m project includes the construction of an island with underwater landscaping to restore the Markermeer’s delicate ecosystem.
The testing of this fuel marks yet another landmark development for the marine biofuels consortium that was announced in October last year by GoodFuels Marine, Boskalis and Wärtsilä, the global supplier of engines and power systems to the marine industry. The consortium was launched with the mission to spearhead a two-year pilot programme to accelerate the development of truly sustainable, scalable and affordable marine biofuels. All fuels being "live" tested on board of Boskalis vessels - including UPM BioVerno - were first extensively ground tested at the Wartsila lab in Vaasa, Finland.
Sustainable marine biofuels offer ship operators a way to reduce a vessel's CO2 emissions by 80-90%. They eliminate SOx emissions, cut NOx emissions by up to 10% and reduce particulate matter (PM) expelled in a ship's exhaust plume by 50%. Current forecasts predict that marine biofuels could make up 5 - 10% of the marine fuel mix by 2030, significantly contributing towards the reduction of the shipping industry's carbon footprint.
Dirk Kronemeijer, CEO of GoodFuels Marine commented:
"We are extremely proud to add UPM Biofuels as a new partner in our ground-breaking test program with Boskalis and Wartsila. This co-operation will help to further accelerate supply of truly sustainable biofuel to the global maritime industry."

Maarten van Biezen, Mobility Policy Director at Dutch NGO Natuur & Milieu praised the project, commenting:
"It is extremely encouraging to see GoodFuels Marine leading the way - together with Boskalis - towards the use of more sustainable, advanced biofuels on Dutch ships. This project is a true example for both the shipping and the biofuels industry of how to apply waste and residue-based biofuels.”
Sari Mannonen, Head of UPM Biofuels added:
"We are delighted to collaborate with GoodFuels, Boskalis and Wartsila on this initiative. Our renewable UPM BioVerno diesel is a great product for marine use - it is a sustainable and competitive fuel with several advantages. Its raw material is wood-based residue, and it reduces both greenhouse gas and exhaust emissions significantly. As the Netherlands is a key market in Europe for driving decarbonisation measures forward, it is very significant for UPM Biofuels to be part of this initiative."
