Gas turbines are used extensively for warship propulsion. They also have advantages for certain specialised types of merchant ships. The newer, more efficient, second generation gas turbines are particularly suitable for LNG carrier propulsion by virtue of their low fuel consumption and highly developed maintenance concepts. The paper explains the derivation of the second generation Rolls-Rolyce RB.211 Marine Gas Turbine from the Aero RB.211 engine and goes on to describe the installation design for an LNG carrier. The role of the gas turbine for cargo boil-off desposal is descussed and this requirement is shown to heavily influence the choice of transmission arrangements. The available maintenance techniques are described and it is shown that these can result in much reduced on-board maintenance and give very high ship availability and reliability.(Wassmann)
