Corporate social responsibility – Risks are known and engineered


Compliance - Legislation Developing Probable Completion

2003 formal recognition of the need to address LNG as fuel on ships (MSC 78)

2005 technical discussions & Correspondence Group (CG) established (BLG 9)

2006 initial development of IGF Code and interim guidelines (BLG 10)

2009 interim guidelines* adopted, MSC.285(86) (BLG 13 / MSC 86)

2013 decision taken to develop IGF Code with NG only (BLG 17)

2014 IMO re-organisation, IGF development to continue under CCC sub-committee

CCC1 presented draft IGF to MSC 94, November 2014 for approval

2015 submitted to MSC 95 (June 2015) with view to adoption**

2017 IGF Code probable entry into force: January 2017 (or June 2017)

* Interim Guidelines on Safety for Natural Gas-Fuelled Engine Installations in Ships MSC.285(86) adopted July 2009 ** MSC 95/3/4 Consideration and adoption of amendments to mandatory instruments - Development of International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code)

GAS FUELLED SHIPS Reliability is on Technology maturity


Meeting the challenge through Gas Fuelled Readiness

Do I order ships now?

Should I consider

Gas as Fuel

Which Technology

fits

How to ensure crew competency

How to secure

bunkers

To what regulations

If I not choose Gas as Fuel for my new asset, is the investment’s sustainability at risk?

or

Will my new ship become fast obsolete?

And

How to achieve Gas Fuelled Readiness and to what standard?


LR’s Gas Fuelled Readiness (GR) announced in September 2014 introduces standard for clarity on levels of LNG fuelled preparedness

It is a more structured approach than AIP

Clear standards describes different levels of readiness

Options for gas fuelled in the future can be designed and built today

Clients are able to make sound technical and contractual decisions

It is the first of its type in the market


Gas Fuelled Readiness (GR) descriptive class notation provides recognition to investment decision

The level of gas fuelled readiness is structured in a flexible manner through the following associated characters:

A

Concept Approval

S

Structural arrangements

T

Fuel Tank

P

Piping arrangements

E

Engineering Systems

M/E A/E Boiler Incinerator

GR in accordance with LR’s

Rules & Regulations

at the date of contract for construction


Information to be submitted for review

1. Complete Design Screening as per ShipRight procedure for ARBD-1 (LNG as fuel)

2. Submit drawings and documents for review

i. General / Machinery Space arrangement

ii. Arrangements of ships ventilation

iii. hazardous area plan

iv. Fire protection arrangement related to the gas fuel installation

v. Process flow diagram

vi. Possibly other required information

Approved concept

gas fuel design approved in principle


Appraisal and Survey requirements

structural calculations and information to support approval of proposed tank type, size and location

Build under survey in accordance with the examined plans

Build under survey in accordance with approved drawings, equipment certified suitable for gas fuel operation Design of tank, P&ID, Ventilation, Inert gas and inter-barrier space vent, fire protection, FMEA, Hazardous area plan, ARBD-2 as applicable


Input to Gain GR Notation

Install piping, pumps, valves, etc. including bunker station structural fire protection with approved design, certified suitable for gas fuel operation

Install engineering systems in accordance with approved design, certified suitable for gas as a fuel

Or

Completed Screening Form submitted to LR

WHAT

A complete record for assessing the design concept

against GR requirements


Gaining GR (A) and/or ARBD-1

Complete a form asking a series of questions

o YES a move towards GR Notation / ARBD-1

o NO or NA provide further details

discuss with LR to resolve

Approved concept

gas fuel design approved in principle
