Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to build eco-LNG carrier for NYK

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has received an order from Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier capable of marked reductions in fuel consumption. The vessel is the first of its kind to adopt "MHI Ultra Steam Turbine Plant" (UST), a new turbine plant which enables approximately 15% higher fuel efficiency than conventional steam turbine plants, a feat achieved through efficient utilization of thermal energy by reheating steam. The LNG carrier is scheduled for completion and delivery in 2014.
