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.
