据气体世界网2021年9月27日报道，一艘由航运公司Deltamarine和GTT作为一种低排放、清洁燃料技术船而设计的阿芙拉型油轮日前获得了美国船级社(ABS)的原则上批准。
在合作伙伴共同研究能源效率方法的情况下，这艘液化天然气作为燃料的阿芙拉型油轮将配备先进的GTT薄膜型液化天然气储罐。
Deltamarin表示，与标准的燃油油轮相比，这艘新型LNG燃料油轮将减少至少20%的二氧化碳排放。
这个在Gastech 2021大会期间获得的批准证明GTT的薄膜型燃料储罐解决方案的船上一体化符合安全法规，在技术上是可行的。

New LNG-fuelled Aframax vessel design gets approved
An Aframax tanker which was designed by shipping companies Deltamarine and GTT as a low emission, clean-fuel technology ship has been awarded an Approval in Principle from classification society, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
With the partners working together to study methods of energy efficiency, the vessel will incorporate advanced GTT membrane-type liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks.
In comparison to a standard oil-fuelled tanker, this new tanker will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by at least 20%, according to Deltamarin.
Awarded at Gastech 2021, the approval certifies that onboard integration of GTT’s membrane fuel tank solution complies with safety regulations and is technically feasible.
