17JUN2019 - NEWS - Kawasaki – LNG Floating Power Plant obtains AiP from DNV GL

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it has developed an LNG floating power plant equipped with its own high-efficiency power generation equipment and that its gas engine model has obtained Approval in Principle (AiP)*1 from DNV GL*2 based on its “Gas Power Plant” rules which were introduced in 2018.

An LNG floating power plant is an integrated system in which LNG fuel tanks, LNG regasification unit, power generation equipment and switchyard are all outfitted on the hull. It is towed on the sea or river and then moored at the installation site, where it generates power on the hull that is then supplied to the onshore power grid.

Demand for this type of power plant is expected to be strong in countries where demand for electricity is rapidly increasing, such as in Southeast Asia, especially on islands or in locations where it is difficult to secure stable power sources, and also in areas with geographical problems such as lack of land for constructing onshore power plants.
