Hanwha Power received Approval in Principle (AiP), a preliminary design certification, from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for a 22,000-cubic-meter LNG bunkering vessel at GASTECH 2026 in Bangkok. The design supports both LNG and ammonia through Mc-CⓇ high-manganese steel cargo containment technology, while a hybrid electric propulsion system combines shore power with an energy storage system to reduce emissions during berth operations and coastal service. Hanwha Power presented the project jointly with Hanwha Ocean and Hanwha Engines as part of a broader maritime and energy offering, integrating dual-fuel generator sets, ESS, electrical power-system integration, automation and cargo-handling systems into an engineering and procurement package. The approval completes the company’s portfolio of medium- and large-sized LNG bunkering vessels ranging from 7,500 to 22,000 CBM.
