FP04-02_Bunkering of Ships with LNG Competency and Assessment Guidelines
ISBN : 978-0-9933164-5-6SKU : FP04-02These guidelines can be used by any individual, organisation or authority on either side of the fuel transfer process to identify what knowledge, understanding and standards of competency should be expected of all those involved, either directly or indirectly, in the bunkering of ships with LNG, so that the operation can be completed safely and effectively. -

FP05-01_Contractual Guidelines – Quantity and Quality
ISBN : 978-0-9933164-1-8SKU : FP05-01This publication provides an overview of the custody transfer process of LNG from the supplier to marine vessels. It explains the variables that need to be measured and documented for the main marine engine types. The later sections of this guide describe the proven techniques, equipment and methods available for measuring both LNG quantity and quality, all of which provide sufficient accuracy and auditability to support the custody transfer process. Its aim is to educate and inform and not to be prescriptive any one method over another. -

TGN06-04_Manifold Arrangements for Gas Fuelled Vessels
ISBN : 978-1-9996669-0-3SKU : TGN06-04One of the factors affecting a gas-fuelled vessel’s ability to interface with bunkering facilities is the manifold arrangement fitted on board the vessel. This Technical Guidance Note (TGN) is intended to facilitate focused discussion and industry alignment on manifold arrangements, with an emphasis on safety and compatibility. -

TGN06-07_Bunker Station Location: Considerations and Recommendations
ISBN : 978-1-9996669-2-7SKU : TGN06-07This Technical Guidance Note (TGN) addresses the industry requirement for guidelines on the location of bunkering manifolds and/or bunker stations installed on gas-fuelled vessels (GFVs) subject to the International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code). The publication was written in association with operators of LNG-fuelled vessels, naval architects, designers and classification societies, and complements the existing SGMF guidelines Manifold Arrangements for Gas-Fuelled Vessels - TGN 06-04 Ver1.0, published in 2019 to address the manifold layout and fitting arrangements on board GFVs. -

SKU : TGN06-06Members can download this publication from the members’ library. The Technical Guidance Note (TGN) provides recommendations for the safe handling and operation of hose bunker systems that use cryogenic flexible hoses as the main means for transferring LNG. It specifically addresses hose selection and the associated handling and functional safety principles. -

TGN06-05_Recommendations For Linked Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Arrangements For LNG Bunkering
ISBN : 978-1-9996669-1-0SKU : TGN06-05This Technical Guidance Note (TGN) provides recommendations for the emergency shutdown system (ESD) arrangements, integration, data and voice communication and interfaces for the LNG bunkering of gas-fuelled vessels. In particular, it addresses the functional safety principles of the linked ESD system to ensure a controlled shutdown of the bunkering operation in case of an emergency. -

TGN 17-01_LNG Fuel Tanks – Loading Filling Limits and Level Instrumentation: Considerations and Recommendations
ISBN : 978-1-7398703-4-8SKU : TGN17-01This guidance consists of key information about LNG filling and loading limits and puts forward recommendations and examples from industry on how to apply this knowledge to bunkering operations. It takes into account both the statutory requirements and the behaviour of cryogenic LNG when loaded and transported on board. -

TGN17-02_LNG Fuel Tanks – Pressure and Temperature Strategies for Gas-Fuelled Vessels
SKU : TGN17-02This Technical Guidance Note (TGN) provides recommendations on boil-off gas (BOG) and fuel tank pressure and temperature management for LNG-fuelled vessels. -

TGN 19-01 A Bunkering Compatibility Assessment Methodology
ISBN : 978-1-7395354-0-7SKU : TGN19-01This Technical Guidance Note (TGN) aims to address compatibility challenges between the LNG supplier and receiver by providing guidance on how to assess compatibility between a bunkering facility and a gas-fuelled vessel, how to gather information for such an assessment, and what needs to be checked and reported. The TGN proposes an industry standard approach and process to satisfy the requirements for compatibility, supported by standards forms.Read more -

TGN 24-01 A Framework For Gas-Fuelled Vessels’ Safety Management Systems
ISBN : 978-1-7395354-4-5SKU : TGN24-01The aim of this technical guidance note (TGN) is to help organisations that operate GFVs develop or update their SMS to effectively mitigate risks. For convenience, it is divided into sections that can be reviewed independently against an existing SMS. This ensures that all aspects of each subject are thoroughly addressed in relation to new hazards.
