FOCUS ON SAFETY ISSUES

摘要

This is the ultimate aim of all studies, research and development projects for the bunkering of LNG. Protecting the life of crew, the environment and assets is of paramount importance. Therefore, Germanischer Lloyd has also taken a close look at the potential risks associated with bunkering gas. Bunkering of LNG presents a number of safety issues due to the cryogenic character of LNG. At -163℃, it is capable of crippling steel structures if spilled, after which it will rapidly evaporate.
