Safety and LNG Bunkering

摘要

The use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel is rapidly becoming more widespread. New environmental regulations, as well as fuel costs, are causing fleet owners and operators to consider building new vessels or refitting existing vessels to burn LNG as a fuel. Legislation, technology and training are struggling to keep up and procedures are constantly being written and rewritten to meet the new challenges. What should you know about the LNG you are bunkering on your vessel, or the one tied up next to you?
