Jiangsu Watts Energy & Engineering Co.,Ltd (WE) delivered 2*1,18750pxb LNG fuel tanks to its customer MitsubishiShipbuilding Co., Ltd (MSB) on November 18, 2022. It is the first delivery amongWE’s 6 serial projects with MSB, supplying one of the key components, LNG fuel tanks,for MSB’s 7,000 CEU PCTC FGSS projects, making WE’s successful debut in Japan.

This project contributes as one of the key componentsof the carrier’s FGSS, consisting of two 1,750 cbm fuel tanks and their upperTCS modules which gained Class approval by NK.  Different from previous deliveries, whose fueltanks were placed on the upper deck, these two tanks will be accommodated on thelower deck to ensure more space for cars/trucks on the deck. Adopting a compactdesign their upper TCS modules are covered by steel shells, which make them betterprotected as well as more stable and efficient in operation. With a mature design,the thickness of the shell plates was 9.5mm at its thinnest, making its structuralweight the lightest and more economical among the known tanks at the samevolume.
