Hanwha Power Secures ABS Approval for 22,000 CBM LNG Bunkering Vessel

At the GASTECH 2026 exhibition in Bangkok, Hanwha Power received Approval in Principle from the American Bureau of Shipping for a 22,000-cubic-meter LNG bunkering vessel. The design marks a significant expansion of the company’s maritime portfolio, which now spans medium to large-scale bunkering solutions from 7,500 to 22,000 cubic meters.

The new vessel design emphasizes flexibility by utilizing multi-cargo technology capable of transporting both LNG and ammonia. By incorporating high-manganese steel cargo containment—branded as Mc-C—the design allows shipowners to adapt to future clean fuel standards with minimal structural modifications. This approach aims to protect long-term asset value in a shifting regulatory landscape.

To address the environmental demands of coastal operations, the vessel features a hybrid electric propulsion system that integrates an Energy Storage System with Onshore Power Supply. This configuration reduces emissions while the ship is berthed or maneuvering in near-shore waters. Hanwha Power has also integrated its proprietary systems, including dual-fuel generator sets and automated cargo handling, into a unified engineering and procurement package. Hoon-min Kim, head of the company's Marine Solution Business Division, stated that the certification confirms the commercial viability of their integrated approach to sustainable marine transportation.
