Purpose Designed LBVs Reference List

Engie Zeebrugge SWZ April 2018

SWZ|Maritime's April issue features the first part of an article on purpose designed LNG bunkering vessels (LBVs).

For ocean going ships where operational endurance and range require larger capacity bunker fuel tanks, the adoption of gas as a fuel has established a need for a new type of dedicated LBV. This vessel is a combination of a small scale LNG carrier with specialist LNG systems for handling the ship-to-ship (STS) LNG bunker transfer.

Topics discussed in the article include LBVs currently in operation and under construction, LBV specifi cation and design (both now and in the future) and LNG bunker transfers.

Subscribers can now read the first part of this article online in the digital copy of our April issue. To complete the article, please find the full reference list below or download it as a pdf.
