Reliable fuel gas supply for LNG carriers, BCM FGI 350-1.0 for ME-GI propulsion

Modern LNG carriers operating with high-pressure ME-GI propulsion require a reliable and efficient fuel gas supply.

BCM FGI 350-1.0 is optimized for 170,000 to 200,000 cbm LNG carriers with low boil-off rate cargo containment systems. The compressor supplies fuel gas up to 330 bar and supports stable performance across demanding operating conditions.

By compressing boil-off gas for ME-GI engine operation, BCM FGI 350-1.0 supports efficient gas utilization, reduced methane slip and reliable onboard fuel gas supply.
