First LNG-Powered Containership for Pasha Hawaii Delivered to ABS Class
ABS support included parametric optimization of the hull using advanced CFD (HOUSTON) The M/V George III, built by Keppel AmFELS in Brownsville, Texas, was delivered to ABS Class and is the first LNG-powered containership in the Pasha Hawaii fleet. In addition to classification services, ABS supported the new construction vessel with an innovative design optimization process. Advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) including parametric hull form optimization reduced both the powering requirement and CO2 emissions. The 774 by 115-foot Jones Act vessel has a capacity of 2,525
