1970s : Gas Tank & Code Development Era

IGC - International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships
Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk:
IMO Interim Guidelines on Safety for Natural Gas Fuelled Engine

Challenges
Utilizing available energy Optimize the energy consumption
Main challange is to optimise and reduce the energy consumption on
vessels:
Utilise Boil-off gas (energy in the gas and cold duty)
Utilise the available cold duty in the LNG as fuel:
Air-condition
Refrigeration
Cooling inlet air to engine
Cooling jacket water (normally done with sea water)
Cool or liquefy cargo with LNG (VOC, gas etc)

Important to look at the complete energy

balance of the vessel!
