Abstract

This study seeks to investigate ways of improving the efficiency of a conventional steam plant, by converting to Ultra steam plant on an existing LNG Carrier. The design proposal is centered on existing technology. In this dissertation, the economic and environmental analyses of different means of propulsion were carried out, and reason the UST is the best available option.
