INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR BUNKERING LNG AS A MARINE FUEL

摘要

Widespread use of LNG as a marine fuel requires and infrastructure for fuel supply and internationally accepted guidelines for the bunkering process. On this basis an ISO work group has been started to develop guidance on how to Meet safety requirements specified by authorities (National and Port). Reference to Guidelines for Risk Assessment. Establish operational and control procedures to ensure safe, practical and aligned operations in different ports. Identify requirements to components (Storage tanks, piping, hoses, loading arms, connectors etc) to ensure equipment compliance other factors such as requirements for maintenance, training and qualification schemes, emergency preparednes. The work group shall collect, evaluate and distill experiences and practices developed in the North Sea area with a focus to standardize the interface between the ship and the fuel supply facilities, to ensure that a LNG fuelled ship can refuel in any port with LNG fuel supply facilities This paper will present the status and preliminary results from this work. The proposal is presented on the assumption that the content is approved by ISO and the members of the work-group.
