Re: Ships Funnel.
LNG is the latest fuel to be used to power ships as it complies with present and future emission requirements.
The LNG powered ships still have funnels as the heat produced by the engines has to go somewhere and is not used in exhaust gas boilers to heat the fuel as LNG requires no heating and you only need a small amount of heat for hotel use

Re: Ships Funnel.
Could not agree more Doc. A ship without funnels: ugh most disagreeable.
