Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. (DSME) mounts the world’s first installation of a high-manganese steel fuel tank on a very large crude-oil carrier.
The installation was done as a joint work for 10 years by DSME and steelmaker POSCO.
The two companies independently developed manufacturing technology covering every stage from pre-treatment to welding, and applied their own expertise to mass production, machinability, and installation.
An LNG fuel tank is a key component of eco-friendly fuel propulsion ships around the world.
According to DSME, ,the company expects to go independent technologically in the production of LNG cargos if price competitiveness is secured through mass production of high-manganese steel in the future.
