Reasons to convert on a typical 5-year period Fuel price spread CAPEX OPEX ratio (Source: Joachim Grieg & Co - LNG Fuelled Ships Conference, Bergen, 2012) 7 Wärtsilä 10.4.2013 Jens Häggblom
Reasons to convert on a typical 5-year period Environmental aspects Reduced NOx, eliminated SOx, Lower CO 2, PM Prepared for future legislation Maintenance cycle shifted Converted / new engine running hours reset Increased second hand value of vessel New state of the art technology onboard 8 Wärtsilä 10.4.2013 Jens Häggblom

DF conversion in practice 12 Wärtsilä 10.4.2013 Jens Häggblom
Initial questions (Wärtsilä can assist) Is LNG available? How will the bunkering be done and where? Any time restrictions or other restrictions? How much storage capacity is needed? Required autonomy (bunkering interval)? Operating profile of the vessel / fuel consumption? Is there space onboard for LNG storage system and for new auxiliary equipment? Placement outside on deck is easiest Inside placement also possible -> stricter requirements How is the vessel stability affected? Heavy equipment What is the intended time schedule for the conversion? A minimum of 12 months lead time required for engineering, design and manufacturing starting from date of order. Offhire depending on the installation. Wärtsilä can help estimating required time for the conversion. 13 Wärtsilä 10.4.2013 Jens Häggblom

Training & operation 28 Wärtsilä 10.4.2013 Jens Häggblom
Operation of DF engines vs. trad. diesel engines Maintainability and crewing Dual-fuel engines can be operated by regular diesel engine crews with decent training. No exceptional skills are required as no high pressure steam/gas is present onboard. 29 Wärtsilä 10.4.2013 Jens Häggblom
