DNV Triality LNG-powered VLCC

[Triton]

Artist's impression of Det Norsk Veritas (DNV) Triality LNG (liquefied natural gas)-powered VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) concept.

Compared to a conventional VLCC with the same operational range and operating in the ordinary spot market, the Triality concept VLCC will:

emit 34 percent less CO2

eliminate entirely the need for ballast water

eliminate entirely the venting of cargo vapors (VOCs)

use 25 percent less energy

NOx emissions will be reduced by more than 80 percent while emissions of SOx and particulate matter will fall by as much as 95 percent.
