First hybrid system-powered LNG tug starts service in Singapore

The tug is equipped with mtu gas engines from Rolls Royce.

JMS Sunshine, the first LNG tug powered by a hybrid system with mtu gas engines has begun operations in Singapore.

The Seatrium-operated 29-metre, 65-tonne bollard pull tug received its mtu gas engines from Rolls Royce.
 
JMS Sunshine has two 16-cylinder mtu Series 4000M55RN gas engines and the gas regulating unit (GRU) for the harbour tug. 

Rolls Royce said the mtu gas engines are well below the limit values of current emission guidelines, such as IMO III, without exhaust gas after treatment. 

“The particulate mass is below the detection limit and they emit only small quantities of nitrogen oxides,” Rolls Royce added.
