A BW LPG vessel is preparing for the first voyage of a VLGC powered by gas.
The retrofitted 84,195-cbm BW Gemini (built 2015) has come through seven days of sea trials off Hong Kong, where the LPG propulsion technology was tested to its safe limits.
An expert team from engine manufacturer MAN ES, BW LPG’s newbuilding and projects and technical departments, and classification society DNV GL experienced intermitment delays from bad weather.
