Powering Green Voyages: LYEN Integrated Propulsion Solution for a New Generation 6800DWT Oil & Chemical Tanker

1. A Smart, Fully Integrated Propulsion Solution

LYEN proudly introduces an advancedintegrated propulsion system developed for a modern 6800DWT oil and chemicaltanker. Designed to meet the demands of efficiency, sustainability, andoperational flexibility, the solution combines a controllable pitch propeller(CPP), transverse thruster, shaft generator system, Nebula remote controlplatform, and an intelligent fuel-optimization system into one seamlessecosystem.

This integrated approach goes beyondconventional equipment supply. Through optimized hydrodynamic design andsystem-level engineering, LYEN delivers a propulsion solution capable ofachieving more than 10% energy savings while enabling intelligent, data-drivenvessel operations throughout the lifecycle. The CPP ensures adaptability acrossvarying voyage conditions, the thruster enhances maneuverability in ports andrestricted waters, and the shaft generator converts propulsion power intoefficient onboard electricity.

Backed by over 20 years of marinepropulsion expertise, LYEN delivers a solution that reflects innovation,reliability, and forward-looking design philosophy.

2. Performance Built for Modern Shipping

The 113.60-meter tanker is equipped with aMAN 6L32/40 main engine integrated with a LYEN CPP and shaft generator system,delivering powerful propulsion and efficient onboard power management. Byutilizing propulsion energy for electricity generation, the vessel reducesdependence on auxiliary generators and achieves improved fuel economy and loweremissions.

Compliant with IMO Tier III standards andBV Ice Class 1A requirements, the vessel demonstrates exceptional environmentalperformance and operational resilience. It is engineered to operate year-roundin demanding conditions, including waters with up to 0.8 meters of ice andtemperatures as low as −25°C. This combination of performance, sustainability,and durability ensures strong competitiveness in the global shipping market.

3. Intelligent Control Meets Energy Efficiency

LYEN’s propulsion solution combines precisecontrol with advanced energy management. The CPP dynamically adjusts bladepitch to maintain optimal efficiency under varying loads, while the bowthruster delivers reliable maneuverability during docking and complexnavigation scenarios.

he Nebula remote control system bringsintuitive and precise propulsion management directly to the bridge, improvingoperational safety and convenience. Meanwhile, Intelligent fuel-optimizationtechnology continuously analyzes navigation data and automatically fine-tunespropulsion parameters to maximize fuel efficiency. The result is measurablecost savings more than 10%, improved vessel handling, and enhanced operationalconfidence for shipowners and crew alike.

4. Engineering Excellence Through Collaboration

Currently under construction at NantongXiangyu Shipyard, the project showcases LYEN’s collaborative engineeringphilosophy. From early design stages to final installation, LYEN works closelywith the shipowner, design institute, and shipyard to ensure seamless systemintegration and optimal performance.

This close cooperation enables fasterproblem-solving, improved installation accuracy, and reliable commissioningresults. By aligning technical expertise with practical shipbuildingexperience, LYEN ensures that every propulsion solution is tailored to meet thevessel’s specific mission profile and operational goals.

5. Driving Value Through Lifecycle Cost Optimization

LYEN’s solution focuses not only onperformance but also on delivering tangible economic value. A shared frequencyconverter design for the bow thruster and shaft generator reduces equipmentredundancy and lowers capital investment. Streamlined software architecturefurther minimizes complexity and maintenance requirements.

Operationally, the intelligentfuel-optimization system reduces fuel consumption by approximately 10%,significantly lowering lifecycle operating costs. This balanced approach toboth CAPEX and OPEX demonstrates LYEN’s commitment to delivering sustainablevalue for shipowners in an increasingly competitive maritime environment.

6. Shaping the Future of Sustainable Propulsion

With delivery scheduled for 2026 anddeployment on European routes, the vessel represents a forward-looking exampleof modern green shipping. As the maritime industry accelerates towardsustainability and digitalization, LYEN’s integrated propulsion solution sets abenchmark for efficiency, innovation, and operational intelligence.

By combining advanced engineering withpractical shipbuilding experience, LYEN continues to empower shipowners withreliable propulsion technologies that support safer operations, loweremissions, and long-term commercial success.
