*** Coming Soon *** FP22-01_Methanol – Safety and Operational Guidelines – Bunkering
ISBN : 978-1-7395354-6-9SKU : FP22-01Methanol 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. Pre-order now for delivery by November. -

FP07-01_LNG as a marine fuel – Safety and Operational Guidelines – Bunkering (Hardback)
ISBN : 978-1-9996669-7-2SKU : FP07-01This 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. -
FP02-01_Recommendations of Controlled Zones during LNG bunkering
ISBN : 978-0-9933164-8-7SKU : FP02-01This high-level publication sets out the key facts about LNG: what it is, how it is used, its environmental and safety profile, which countries have invested in it, LNG ship design and systems, bunkering facilities and process, how it is purchased, and how personnel involved in handling LNG should be trained and familiarised. -
FP08-01_Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPs) during LNG Bunkering
ISBN : 978-0-9933164-7-0SKU : FP08-01This 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.

FP10-01_Work practices for maintenance, repair and dry dock operations
ISBN : 978-1-9996669-3-4SKU : FP10-01This document provides new guidance on work practices for maintenance, repair and dry-dock operations for ships that use gas/LNG as fuel to help ensure the safe maintenance of gas-fuelled ships. -
FP04-02_Bunkering of Ships with LNG Competency and Assessment Guidelines
ISBN : 978-0-9933164-5-6SKU : FP04-02The aim is that the suggested guidelines can be used by any individual, organisation or authority, on either side of the transfer process to identify what tasks will be conducted by themselves, their personnel, or within their scope and hence be able to identify the knowledge, understanding and competencies that they require. -
FP14-01_Operation of ships with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Competency and Assessment Guidelines
ISBN : 978-1-9996669-5-8SKU : FP14-01This 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. -
