Turbo Power in 5 LNG tankers is like getting a 6th tanker free.

Incredible? Here's the evidence.

First, the 8-hour changeout of our FT4

Marine Power Pacs means you get back those 15 days of downtime required (at some $125,000 per day!) for servicing con- ventional powerplants. Proof?The hundreds of on-time sailings by turbo-powered con- tainerships.

Second, our gas turbines boost speed to 23 knots, versus 19 knots. And they're ideal for twin screws—for improved maneu- verability and 30-50% shorter emergency stopping distances. That in turn can lower your insurance costs.

It adds up this way: turbo power's extra availability and speed allow each LNG tanker to make 21 round trips a year, versus only 17 trips. Which means 5 tankers can do the work of 6.
