By using Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) versus Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), ship builders and ferry operators can reduce fuel costs as LNG production increases around the world. LNG fuel is the most cost effective way to meet these regulations. The high power output and low weight and size of aeroderivative gas turbines make them ideal for the fast ferry application.

Environmental Benefits
By using the LM2500 Fast Ferry LNG versus marine diesel engines, Ship Builders and Ferry Operators can reduce NOx, SOx, and particulates thereby achieving IMO Tier III emissions standards.
Operating Benefits
LM2500 Fast Ferry LNG for ship builders and ferry operators can reduce fuel costs compared to reciprocating engines burning MDO as LNG production increases around the world. Compared to marine diesel engines, the LM2500 Marine Propulsion LNG Fueled Gas Turbine provides (see table at right): * Higher mechanical drive power output * Ability to burn Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) fuel * Lower emissions (meets IMO Tier III requirements) * Lower weight * Smaller area footprint * Lower maintenance required, scheduled or unscheduled
