Staten Island Ferry to convert one of its vessels to LNG propulsion
The conversion, to be undertaken in conjunction with a scheduled 90-day docking of the 1,100 passenger vessel, will result in reduced costs and, importantly, in reduced emissions of greenhouse gases- a key component of "PlaNYC"- Mayor Michael Bloomberg's long term blueprint for the city. Funding for the project will come from a combination of a Federal grant, and local money. The implications of the LNG engine retrofit (on either the Alice Austen or the John A Noble ) will extend far beyond New York City; according to DeSimone, his agency's efforts will be closely watched by ferry operators around the country. New York's project is the first such conversion in the US. More at http://seatrade-global.com/news/americas/lng-trialing-the-bunker-fuel-of-the-future.html
