'G.R. Bouuler, Inc.

Specializing in LNG Vessel Automation main engines and AziPull thrusters.

Auxiliary power is generated by four

MAN B&W 6L16/24 GenSets. A total main engine output of 4,760 kW (6,470 bhp) will supply the propeller thrust, for a ship service speed of around 13 knots.

Main engines and GenSets will, from their turbochargers, lead the exhaust gasses to individual Munters SCR

Converters/Silencers. The SCR convert- ers are activated by injection of a solu- tion of urea and water. Imperative for the SCR converters' full NOx reduction efficiency, which are specified to a NOx outlet content of max. 2g/kWh, is a rel- atively high and steady exhaust gas inlet temperature. For the main engines' load range, with variable operation according to the propeller curve, a special tur- bocharger matching will be applied to control the exhaust gas outlet tempera- tures. For controlling the SCR process, including the injection of the urea/water solution at variable engine loads, the engines' electronic speed and fuel index signals are used as input to Munters

NO-analyser circuit.

Brostrom Group operates 65 product and chemical carriers from 4,000 to 80,000 dwt, with an average age of seven years. It employs 37 tankers in

European trade and transports more than 20 million tonnes of oil products per year. "By this new investment,

Brostrom secures the position as being the largest provider of transportation services to customers in the European trade. Brostrom's capacity in product tanker shipping is covered, to a great extent, by Contracts of Affreightment.

The design of the new ships and choice of features give Brostrom a competitive edge," said Brostrom CEO Lennart

Simonsson.
