Abstract

With the development of LNG (liquefied natural gas) fuel powered vessels, the disadvantages of traditional fuel bunkering methods are prominent. Countries all over the world have launched the research on LNG overwater bunkering technology. LNG overwater bunkering refers to the fuel bunkering operation of LNG fuel powered vessels through LNG bunker vessels at designated anchorages or specific waters along the coast and inland rivers. Compared with the traditional LNG tanker bunkering or shore station bunkering, its operation mode is more convenient, doesn’t occupy wharf resources and has higher bunkering efficiency. However, LNG has special dangers such as low temperature, flammability and explosion. In case of fuel leakage accident during operation, fire or explosion may occur, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, this paper systematically studies the leakage risk in the process of LNG overwater bunkering operation, and puts forward safety guarantee suggestions to ensure the safety of the operation process.
