2. World’s First LNG Powered Cruise Ship
AIDAnova, the world’s first cruise ship that can be powered by
low-emission liquefied natural gas (LNG) both at sea and in port,
was launched this year.
Two further AIDA ships of this new generation will be built by 2023 – also at the Meyer Werft
shipyard in Papenburg. The ship features a wellness area of around 3,500 square meters, an out-
door gym, a Penthouse Suite which extends over two decks, single staterooms, 17 restaurants
and 23 bars.
3. World’s First LNGC with Full Re-Liquefaction System
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering launched
the world’s first LNG carriers using a full re-liquefaction
system that completely re-liquefies the evaporative gas
generated from LNG carriers.
The natural gas re-liquefaction system is a technology
that re-liquifies natural gas which naturally vaporizes in
the cargo hold during the operation of the LNG carrier
and puts it back into the cargo hold.
