Abstract;With the construction of the two 154000m3 LNG carriers for Gaz de France/NYK at Chantiers de l'atlantique, electric propulsion systems have been introduced to full size LNG Carriers. ABB has delivered a complete propulsion drive system based on 2 x 14MW medium speed propulsion motors and BV will class the 2 vessels. This paper intends to present the system installed on board of these two ships in two different aspects: classification and technical. (author abst.)
