DNV Summer Project 2010

Ten master's students from Norway, Sweden and Nigeria, chosen among 150 applicants, have worked on this year's summer project assignment -- "LNG in short-sea shipping"-- for six weeks.

The scope of the project was to set up a fictitious ship owning company operating ships fuelled on liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Nordic region. The students, who study technology and economics, have investigated challenges and opportunities of operating vessels on LNG.

During the six weeks the students have investigated the preferable trade and ship type for LNG operations, made specification to ship design and provided a viable fuel logistics solution. They have proven this to be safe, environmentally friendly and economically profitable.
