LMG maritime to design and launch the first ever cruise ship which will use the LNG fuel in Mediterranean Sea

LMG Marin is renowned as a leader in the area of LNG-fuelled propulsion and for the projects astonishingly designed, advanced and most modern ferries.

This was the important thing for Caronte & Tourists selecting LMG Marin as design project handler for their new venture and LMG Marin has done it excellently.

What is LMG 290 DEG Design

The LMG 290-DEG design ferry or small cruise is not that small but it has a board size of 133 meters long and 21.5 meters broad, may have capacity for 290 cars on two automobile decks, and 1500 passengers. The propulsion can be centralised and controlled through a fuel-electric system making use of 3 dual-fuel engines. The vessel is being constructed by Sefine Shipyard in Turkey. The vessel will also be carrying cargo from UK to Pakistan.

When will it be launched?

The all new LNG powered cruise will be delivered in 2018. The LMG 290-DEG design will be the first cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea to operate on LNG fuel ever which is a milestone for the operator says officials at LMG Marin.

The cruise ship has been developed in close dialogue with the ship owner with the intention to lodge their challenging functions and operational necessities even as meeting a strict low fuel consumption goal.

She is unique and exclusively optimised to operate throughout the Strait of Messina between Villa San Giovanni and Messina in Sicily, which is an area vulnerable to very extreme existent.

Because of her ECU classification, type B certificates, she will also be able to operate on extra open routes comparable to the Aeolian Islands. Security of the tourists was a big concern for operators but now finally, NATO has started their maritime security operations in the Mediterranean Sea for protecting sea cargo to Pakistan from UK.

New Maritime security Operation in the Mediterranean

Air aid to Operation, Sea Guards will incorporate rotational patrols by using Maritime Patrol Aircrafts (MPAs) from Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey. These first patrols are running from Nov 2016, with different patrols on the forge and to occur in accordance with accredited agenda of operations. Operation Sea Guards has three core missions: maritime situational realisation, counter-terrorism and capability building. Additional tasks could be brought if made up our minds by the Allies, including upholding choice of navigation, leading interdiction duties, refuting spread of weapons of mass destruction and safety of significant infrastructure.

Operation Sea Guards will help keep a correct image of every day activity in the Mediterranean to aid feasible safety considerations. Ships, submarines and plane assigned to NATO Operation Sea Guards will provide the statistics to hold a complete photograph of the running discipline. Operation Sea Guards establishes NATO Maritime Command in Northwood, UK as the hub of maritime protection understanding and sharing of information for the Alliance. The Warsaw Summit in July, NATO presented the conversion of Article 5 Operation lively Endeavour into this new operation in keeping with the evolving security atmosphere. Operation Sea Guards has a broader scope tailored to a wider range of maritime security threats.
