Qatari shipowning giant Nakilat has identified the Q-max that will undergo a refit, which will see it kitted out with an M-type, electronically controlled, gas-injection (ME-GI) propulsion system.
Company officials, talking to TradeWinds at the Gastech event in Seoul, South Korea, this week, have chosen the 267,335-cbm Rasheeda (built 2010) — the last Q-max to be delivered into Nakilat’s fleet — as the vessel for the previously announced retrofit, which will allow the ship’s propulsion system to burn LNG as an alternative to heavy fuel oil.
