MAN Cryo, part of MAN Energy Solutions, has signed a contract with Yantai CIMC Raffles Shipyard for the delivery of fuel-gas supply systems (FGSSs) configured so that boil-off gas can be sent to the MAN’s ME-GI engine via a high-pressure, boil off gas compressor.
The FGSS will be installed on a new series of two dual-fuel, 6,500 pure car carriers for Wallenius Marine on charter to Volkswagen. Henrik Malm, Managing Director at MAN Energy Solutions, Sweden and Finland, claimed that the use of the high-pressure, boil-off-gas compressor to supply boil-off gas tothe ME-GI high-pressure engine represented a world first.
An installed shaft generator will further reduce the running hours of the auxiliary engines.

The FGSSs for the vessels will be delivered during 2023. The scope of delivery includes the following:
MAN Cryo offers systems for the storage, distribution and handling of liquefied gases and supplied the world’s first LNG fuel-gas system for the Glutra ferry in Norway in 1999, a vessel that is still operational. More recently, in 2013, MAN Cryo supplied the world’s first bunker vessel, the SeaGas.
