The vessel now meets both the Tier II and Tier III emission requirements set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). German manufacturer MAN Diesel & Turbo has converted a container ship to use liquified natural gas (LNG) as well as diesel. The vessel is the first of its kind in Germany. "We trust this will mark the beginning of a trend towards the adoption of LNG as an environmentally friendly fuel within the maritime sector," said Stefan Eefting, head of MAN PrimeServ in Augsburg.
