Developments and challenges in this area.
LNG cargo tank type.
Conceptual design 2013 with vacuum C tanks 4 x 300 m³ LNG.
Gasoil/diesel tanks (total 1400 m³)
LNG pump room
Minimum inspection space (inland waterway regulations).
Conceptual design 2013 with vacuum C tanks 4 x 300 m³ LNG.
“Final” design 2014 LNG cargo tanks (GTT membrane containement system)
“Final” design 2014 LNG cargo tanks (GTT menbrane containement system)
Increase 1200 -> 1870 m³ => 55,8% of volume.
Mark III System MARK III Membrane System is a cryogenic liner directly supported by the ship’s inner hull. This liner is composed of a primary metallic membrane positioned on top of a prefabricated insulation panel including a complete secondary membrane: Primary stainless steel The primary membrane is made of corrugated stainless steel 304 L, 1.2 mm thick. It contains the LNG cargo and is directly supported by and fixed to the insulation system. Standard size of the corrugated sheets is 3 m x 1 m. Secondary triplex The secondary membrane is made of a composite laminated material: a thin sheet of aluminum between two layers of glass cloth and resin. It is positioned inside the prefabricated insulation panels between the two insulation layers. Insulation The insulation consists of a load-bearing system made of prefabricated panels in reinforced polyurethane foam including both primary and secondary insulation layers and the secondary membrane. The standard size of the panels is 3 m x 1 m. The thickness of the insulation is adjustable from 250 mm to 400 mm to fulfill any B.O.R. requirement. The panels are bonded to the inner hull by means of resin ropes which serve a double purpose: anchoring the insulation and spreading evenly the loads. Safety The two independent insulation spaces are continuously flushed with nitrogen gas. The integrity of both membranes is permanently monitored by detection of hydrocarbon in the nitrogen.
BOG proceeding: Redundant BOG system (type of BOG system is under investigation)
20 - 50% of the BOG can be used for the 3 x 400 kW gas power generators
By normal day-by day LNG bunker operations, BOG is minimized
Advantages of the membrane tanks: I. More LNG volume II. Proven technology III. Delivery time in line with our project schedule IV. LNG as bunker fuel will be so cold as possible (more energy per m³ LNG)
Disadvantages of the membrane tanks: I. Higher BOG rate than type C vacuum insulated tanks for this range of volume II. Not (yet) known for inland waterways
Developments and challenges in this area.
Gas power generator room.
Gas power generator room, 3 x 400 kW.
LNG propulsion room.
Gas power generator 400 kW.
Gas power generator room.
Air in (max. 32000 m³ per hrs.)
Exhaust and air out
Gas reduction units
Gas from LNG propulsion room
By 100% gas leak, still a safe area !

LNG ship to ship bunkering regulations: 1. Extern regulations:
Port regulations, where and when is LNG bunkering allowed. Port procedures, information we have to prevent to the port authorities
before LNG bunkering can start
2. Intern regulations: LNG bunkering procedures, e.g. LNG bunkering checklist Communication ship-ship (SIGTTO) Administration: e.g. Bunkering delivery receipt
Operations and safety for LNG bunkering.
Europe is working on an operations and safety LNG bunkering standard !
Moving forwards into 2015.
