Queen Mary 2 Sets Sail with GE LM2500s
The world’s largest transatlantic liner, the Queen Mary 2, set sail on its maiden voyage powered by two GE LM2500+ aeroderivative gas turbine-generator sets and four diesel generator-sets. The new flagship of the British merchant fleet, owned by Cunard Line, will take 14 days to sail from Southampton in the United Kingdom to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. A special highlight of Queen Mary 2’s inaugural schedule will be her maiden eastbound crossing from New York on April 25 as both Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2 sail in tandem.

GE Gas Turbines for FPSO
GE signed a contract to provide MODEC with three LM2500+G4 aeroderivative gas turbine generators for use on a floating production storage and off-loading (FPSO) vessel in Brazil’s Campos Basin. Using the standardized package configuration of its commercial marine units, GE’s LM2500+G4 gas turbine generators offer substantial weight and space savings as compared to other similar units in the industry. Each of the MODEC units is site rated at 27.8 megawatts and will operate in simple-cycle mode. Natural gas will be the primary fuel with diesel as the backup fuel. Considered the largest oil reserve in the Brazilian continental shelf, Campos Basin covers an area of approximately 100…
