06 Turku knows LNG
24 New maritime ICT applications boosted
Meyer Turku shipyard is fast on track to becoming a world-class LNG
expert. The production of Tallink’s new generation LNG (Liquefied
Natural Gas) powered fast ferry kicked off in August – and in June, it
was announced that Turku will build two LNG-powered cruise ships
for Carnival Corporation. Concept Design Manager Sami Kouvonen
from Meyer Turku believes that the shipyard has gained considerable know-how in LNG ship-building – and the competition has to
work hard indeed if they want to catch up.
