*** Sayaringo STaGE
A next-generatiダナン カジノ LNG carrier, which has a cダナン カジノtinuous steel cover that reduces ship weight and air resistance while increasing LNG-carrying capacity. The name “Sayaringo” is derived from the fact that the upper semi-sphere of the tank is larger than the lower semi-sphere, resembling the shape of an apple (“ringo” in Japanese) covered by a pod of a pea (“saya” in Japanese). In additiダナン カジノ, the ship is equipped with a hybrid propulsiダナン カジノ system named STaGE (Steam Turbine and Gas Engines), a highly efficient reheating steam-type marine turbine, and a dual-fuel diesel engine capable of operating ダナン カジノ both gas and oil, which creates a highly fuel efficient propulsiダナン カジノ system.
