MS Megastar

The 230 million euro vessel is the first ship in Tallink's fleet to use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel.

While capable of running on marine diesel oil (MDO), the engines will primarily use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel.

[8] The gas fuel is stored in two 300 m3 (11,000 cu ft) cryogenic storage tanks which, unlike in the previous LNG-fueled cruiseferry Viking Grace, are located inside the hull of the vessel, below the main deck.

The propulsion system is diesel-electric, meaning that instead of being mechanically coupled to the twin propeller shafts, the main engines form a power plant which produces electricity for all electrical consumers ranging from propulsion motors to auxiliary systems and hotel functions.

[3] After its completion and handover to Tallink the vessel began providing from late January 2017 a six times a day Tallinn-Helsinki-Tallinn service.
