The conversion project includes dismantling and rearranging from the engine room to the aft structure, all the pipelines and circuits of the engine room, etc., installing the new dual-fuel main engine, generator set, extra-long shafting system, FGSS system and other integrations. And converting the originally-built 13-capsule steam-propelled container ship into an 11-capsule dual-fuel GFS vessel which is mainly powered by liquid gas and supplemented by bunker fuel. The ship was converted from a 13-compartment steam-propelled container ship to an 11-compartment dual-fuel GFS ship.
