Project Targets

• Meet customer demand; green transportation• Meet upcoming legislation by ports and governments • Meet Danser Group strategy: Frontrunner in clean & safe

transportation • Emission meeting (expected) CCR4 requirements• Pilot for LNG refit on 4 more container vessels

How:• Installation Dual-Fuel propulsion system

(Wärtsilä Engine, Tank/ Coldbox)• Increased performance; fully redundant • Safety leading parameter in overall design

Reflecting current operations

• Between 20-25% reduction on fuel costs

• 95-99% LNG

• Building up confidence of crew on “working with” – “sailing on” LNG

• Less noise generation

• Bunkering time reduced to 3 hours
