What are Steam Turbine Vessels?

The traditional propulsion systems of LNG carriers. They are those propelled by fuels that generate steam for power. Usually two boilers generate sufficient steam for the main propulsion turbines and auxiliary engines. These vessels were widely used in the 19th and 20th century, but have largely been phased out by more efficient propulsion systems.
