Larger quantities

Quite similar to current

marine fuels bunkering

practices

Regulations for LNG

bunkering still unclear

LNG Container & Genset


1 x 40’ LNG tank container contains about 35

m3 of LNG, which is enough to generate over 1

MWe continuously for 4 days and nights.

LNG Storage Onboard

1 ton of LNG = 49,500 MJ & 2.22 m3

1 ton of HFO = 40,200 MJ & 1.01 m3

LNG has 23% more energy per ton HFO but

requires more than double the net storage

space

Gross storage space, including insulation

spaces, ventilation, access trunks and unusable

space around the cylindrical storage tanks is 3 –

4 times larger


And What’s More….

LNG requires higher CAPEX for storage and

distribution than traditional residual and distillate

fuels

LNG has BOG issues that require attention

Most of LNG related accidents happened during

LNG handling

Release of uncombusted Methane contributes

to the Green House Effect substantially more

strongly than CO2



Is LNG Safe?
