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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
