Portable Fuel Tank - The Application of a New Method of Bunkering for Small S...Kelvin Xu (MRINA)
This document presents a new method of bunkering for small scale LNG fuelled vessels using portable fuel tanks. It summarizes the design of a 32m harbour tugboat outfitted with two 20m3 portable LNG fuel tanks arranged on deck. The portable tanks allow for a simple bunkering process of replacing empty tanks with preloaded tanks delivered by truck, ship, or rail. This reduces bunkering duration compared to conventional shore-based or ship-to-ship methods. The document also discusses the vessel's fuel supply system and gas venting arrangement to safely utilize the portable fuel tanks.
This document summarizes a study on designing a small-scale LNG carrier and bunkering ship with a dual-fuel engine. The study involved multiple Japanese shipbuilding and engineering companies. The target was to increase natural gas use by developing an LNG bunkering ship and coastal LNG carriers. The selected design used a dual-fuel engine, electrical propulsion system, 3,500 cubic meter LNG cargo tanks, a 38 cubic meter LNG fuel tank, and an LNG fuel supply system to provide fuel from the cargo tanks. The presentation concludes by thanking ClassNK for supporting the joint industry research program.
Compatibility Study of FSRU Exemplar for STS Transfer with LNGCAchmad Agung P
1. A study was conducted to assess the compatibility of STS LNG transfer between an FSRU and LNGCs for a project in West Java.
2. The study found the FSRU design would be compatible with 85% of LNGCs in the market. It determined design parameters for jetty structures including a length offset/overlap range of +/-26m.
3. While most LNGCs have manifolds amidships as recommended, some further vessel compatibility assessment is still needed on individual STS plans. The study provides confidence for using the STS option for the West Java FSRU.
Introduction to Floating Storage & Regasification Unit (FSRU)petroEDGE
Over the next 2 or 3 decades it is predicted that gas usage will grow at a much faster rate than oil and become the dominant energy source. Up to some 40% of gas comes from Offshore Fields. The transport of gas in the form of LNG is growing very fast – particularly for longer distance export routes. New offshore opportunities for gas production are being developed with the new technologies of Floating LNG (FLNG).
Inshore or Offshore FSRU’s provide safe, strategic and good location for the receiving terminals for LNG and provide the conversion of the methane from the liquid phase back to the gaseous phase to direct consumer usage.
This 2 day training course covers Gas and LNG activities – their Supply Chain from Onshore and Offshore Gas Fields to Market, with FSRU’s providing the last step by converting the LNG back to usable methane gas for local supply and use. Case Studies and videos will be used to illustrate lessons learned from past successful projects. A DVD of the powerpoint presentation and numerous Industry videos will be distributed with the lecture materials.
The document summarizes PT Nusantara Regas's LNG FSRU business model. Some key points:
- PT Nusantara Regas operates an FSRU in Jakarta Bay that receives LNG from carriers and regasifies it for delivery to power plants and other gas buyers.
- The business aims to meet Indonesia's growing gas demand and reduce reliance on fuel subsidies by accelerating domestic gas utilization.
- An FSRU was chosen as it allows rapid deployment and is economically feasible for 10 years, until a permanent onshore terminal can be built.
- The business model involves managing LNG supply from existing sources, gas sales to power company PLN and other buyers,

This document discusses using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel for container ships. It notes that regulations have progressively lowered the allowed sulfur content in marine fuels. LNG produces lower emissions of sulfur oxides and carbon dioxide compared to traditional ship fuels. For container ships, the payback time for investing in LNG fuel systems is shorter for smaller vessels. Technical challenges include storing the highly pressurized, low temperature LNG and insulating the fuel tanks. Two common storage methods are using ISO type C tanks installed at the stern or ISO LNG containers stored as cargo. The document provides an example calculation for the number of LNG containers needed for a specific container ship voyage. The first ship to use this LNG
The document discusses the emergence of small scale liquified natural gas (LNG) facilities. Traditionally, LNG has been traded through large scale facilities involving long term contracts. However, as LNG production and transportation has increased, smaller scale import terminals are now viable to supply areas without access to gas grids. A typical small scale LNG terminal includes storage tanks, a marine jetty, regasification equipment, and loading facilities to distribute gas via trucks or pipelines. These terminals cost $25-100 million and can supply power plants, industries, shipping, and remote locations with a cleaner alternative to fuel oil or diesel. As energy needs transform and LNG becomes more available, small scale commodity trade of LNG is likely to
Environment, sustainability and reducing emissions are driving fuel flexibility and alternative fuel programs, replacing conventional fuels for combustion engines. LNG is today one of the best commercial and technical feasible options, but the dynamics of this fuel is introducing certain design considerations for such a solution. Wärtsilä is providing power and propulsion system solutions, guaranteeing optimum performance.
Wison Offshore & Marine - FLNG solution Mar 2015Hisham Yusof
Wison provides liquefied natural gas (LNG) solutions including both offshore floating LNG (FLNG) and onshore LNG module fabrication. For the Exmar Caribbean FLNG project, Wison is constructing a floating LNG barge off Colombia's coast that will liquefy and store 0.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG, utilizing Black & Veatch liquefaction technology and LNG storage tanks from TGE. The FLNG barge is being built at Wison's yard in Nantong, China and will be transported to Colombia for installation after commissioning.
1. PETROBRAS developed an LNG import terminal project to provide flexible natural gas supply to meet Brazil's growing and variable demand.
2. Two LNG import terminals were constructed - one in Pecém and one in Guanabara Bay. Both terminals were built and commissioned between 2008-2009.
3. The terminals allow for LNG to be imported via carriers and regasified using Floating Storage and Regasification Units to supplement domestic gas supply and provide flexibility for the power market.
The presentation proposes building 3 liquefaction trains capable of producing 12 million tonnes of LNG annually on the existing terminal property. This would reduce the volume of natural gas shipped and allow use of the existing infrastructure. Conceptual site plans show locations for the liquefaction equipment, storage tanks, docks, and support facilities that could save costs and construction time. The adjacent site may also be suitable for worker housing and equipment staging.
The presentation gives an excellent overview of the LNG Bunkering infrastructure around the world. The data comes from public available sources and has been compiled and presented by DNV GL.

Probabilisitc analysis of marine fuels in emission controlled areasKamal Kannan
This document summarizes a probabilistic analysis of marine fuel options in emission controlled areas. It outlines the methodology used, which involved deterministic and probabilistic decision analyses of three fuel alternatives: a two-stroke diesel engine with scrubbers, an LNG-fueled engine, and a dual-fuel engine. The analysis found the optimal decision was diesel under deterministic analysis but changed to LNG when accounting for uncertainties in fuel prices, regulations, and other factors. Sensitivity analysis showed LNG became optimal with small changes to diesel and LNG prices or engine downtime. Risk analysis found the optimal decision shifted from diesel to LNG to dual-fuel as risk aversion increased.

‘‘Figma AI’’ is one of the sophisticated Artificial Intelligence based digital design and prototyping tools which has transformed the way of designers shape and share the user interfaces and experience. In essence, Figma AI is a set of advanced AI technologies aimed at improving design operations’ productivity, innovation, and accuracy. Here’s a detailed exploration of what Figma AI offers:Here’s a detailed exploration of what Figma AI offers:
**Intelligent Design Assistance:**
Another form of AI used in Figma is Real-Time Collaboration and Suggestions that go further by providing the designers with improvements as they design. It utilizes design, layout, and user flow analysis algorithms that involve machine learning to give well-structured recommendations based on the site’s design and layout as well as other designs in the current market. Moreover, this capability not only brings advantages in the aspect of time; it also benefits from the viewpoints of homogeneity and practicability across the projects.
**Automated Prototyping:**
It is also noteworthy that Figma AI can autonomously work on creating prototypes. Designers can provide the core functionalities and limitations of a system and the AI engine forms hypotheses of the prototypes which can be animated and include features like buttons and sliders. This minimize hours of work, and enable designers to work on polishing interaction and user experience aspects rather than having to create prototypes from the ground.
**Adaptive Design Systems:**
Figma AI helps in using the design systems that automatically adapt to various optimal graphic sizes and contexts of the devices. From the users’ statistics and reviews, it can propose slight modifications of the design elements that work best on different devices. This makes the deliveries user-friendly for all consumers irrespective of how they come across the product.
**Natural Language Interface:**
Another great special inclusion in Figma AI is the incorporation of NLI, which incorporates natural language to come with designers in a plain language. Designers can state or explain what they want to design, ask about some principles in the design or even more ask to create a certain asset in design, while Figma AI answers with a related design suggestion or completes a given task.
**Collaborative Design Insights:**
Being an AI tool meant to help the design teams coordinate, Figma AI provides an insight into collaborative design choices and users’ feedback. It detects areas of possible design discrepancies, proposes changes based on amass data, and facilitates the quick redesign at the same time avoiding inefficiency of the design.
**Ethical Design Considerations:**
Acknowledging the hereby discussed problem of ethical design practices, Figma AI employs algorithms that bring attention to certain biases or accessorial concerns emerging from design decisions.
