The first ever LNG retrofitted inland waterway vessel was delivered to Danser Group in Rotterdam

The first ever LNG retrofitted inland waterway vessel was delivered to Danser Group in Rotterdam last month. The Eiger-Nordwand is now propelled by a dual-fuel drive system that can run on both LNG and diesel, Port of Rotterdam said in its press release. The European Union provided a significant support by financing 50% of the gas related components of the conversion as part of the ‘LNG Masterplan Rhine-Main-Danube’ project that benefits overall from €40 million of EU support. Richard Ferrer, Senior Project Manager at the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency of the European Commission says there will be more funding available for similar projects.
