About this Course

This one-day course gives shipboard and shoreside personnel a practical understanding of LNG-fueled vessel systems, operations and ABS requirements. You will learn the technical and operational fundamentals of LNG as a marine fuel, including vessel arrangements, fuel-handling systems, propulsion technologies and key operating hazards. The course also explains how ABS classification requirements apply to gas-fueled vessels and highlights lessons drawn from operating experience

What you'll Learn

  • Explain the key technical and operational principles of LNG-fueled vessels.
  • Identify ABS classification requirements applicable to LNG-fueled ships.
  • Describe ship arrangements, bunkering systems and fuel gas supply systems.
  • Describe the function of reliquefaction units and gas combustion units.
  • Compare dual-fuel diesel, single gas-fuel engines and dual-fuel gas turbines.
  • Recognize survey considerations and major operating hazards associated with LNG-fueled vessels.

Who should Attend

This course is for shipboard and shoreside personnel who need a stronger working knowledge of LNG-fueled vessel design, operation and ABS requirements, including those who support the operation of LNG-fueled vessels, work with fuel systems, machinery systems or vessel technical management, need an introduction to ABS requirements for gas-fueled ships or want practical insight into LNG-fueled vessel operating experience.
