LNG Ferry Contract Awarded

Chart Ferox, a.s., fully owned European subsidiary of Chart Industries, has received a contract to design, build and deliver an LNG fuel system for a fast ferry to be built by Incat, Australia. The boat will be the first catamaran powered by 27,000 HP gas turbines fueled by natural gas. Chart Ferox says the catamaran, measuring 325 feet in length, will be the world’s fastest, environmentally cleanest, most efficient, high speed ferry. The boat will be operated in Latin America. Chart is contracted to supply the on-board LNG fueling system, including the storage tank, piping and control system as well as the bunkering system. The bunkering system is designed to load two cryogenic LNG trailers simultaneously in less than one hour, creating a virtual LNG pipeline to the ferry.
