  • FP22-01_Methanol – Safety and Operational Guidelines – Bunkering

    ISBN : 978-1-7395354-6-9
    SKU : FP22-01
    Methanol is one of the fuels that the merchant fleet has identified and is looking to implement. With first movers already sailing vessels running on methanol, and many more on order, it is ahead of the curve in terms of adoption. It has also overtaken regulation, meaning that these early adopters are having to put forward safety solutions that have not yet been documented, and bunker suppliers using existing chemical carriers are trying to second guess what conversion and equipment may be needed to make their vessels physically compatible with the ships being produced. These methanol bunkering guidelines have been published as a first draft to highlight the key safety factors that need to be considered when designing and bunkering a vessel of any type with methanol. We trust they will be of benefit to all sectors of this industry, not just bunker suppliers and methanol-fuelled ship owners, but all stakeholders in this new activity.

  • FP07-01_LNG as a marine fuel - Safety and Operational Guidelines - Bunkering

    FP07-01_LNG as a marine fuel – Safety and Operational Guidelines – Bunkering (Hardback)

    ISBN : 978-1-9996669-7-2
    SKU : FP07-01
    This 2021 edition is taking a new and holistic approach to LNG bunkering. The reader is taken through a journey starting from the Design stage of the vessel and the supply bunkering facility, via the Planning and Preparation stages of the bunkering location and operations to be completed by the fuelling Operational stage of the of an LNG-fuelled vessel. Along each stage recommendations are provided to all the stakeholders involved in the bunkering of ships with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) with the focus on ensuring that gas fuelled ships are bunkered safely, reliably, efficiently and to prevent undesirable fugitive gas emissions during operations.

  • FP14-01_Operation of ships with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Competency and Assessment Guidelines

    FP14-01_Operation of ships with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Competency and Assessment Guidelines

    ISBN : 978-1-9996669-5-8
    SKU : FP14-01
    This document focuses on all the activities relating to the preparation, storage, handling and use of gas as a fuel – from the storage tank through to delivery to the consumer – and the competencies required of those personnel engaged in undertaking the related tasks. It therefore covers the full scope of competencies that we believe a skilled engineer and supporting team need to have to be able to operate the gas fuel system through the complete voyage cycle (from dry-dock to dry-dock). It therefore goes beyond the scope of the IMO’s Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) and should be used accordingly.
