Research on Filling of Large Coastal LNG Fuel Powered Ships

Abstract

With the implementation of MARPOL convention and related environmental protection policies, LNG as fuel power has become an important technical means to promote the green development of shipping. The construction and operation of large ocean-going ships in the world put forward an urgent demand for LNG filling. This paper points out that there is an urgent need to issue the design and technical standards of shore-based filling stations, the approval and operation of filling stations, the regulations on ship navigation management, and the related research on safety and emergency, etc., which puts forward the work direction for the future coastal LNG filling work.
