1 2018 AGENDA DAY 1-21/02/2018 Hilton Registration 08:30-09:00 Course introduction 09:00-09:45 Outlining course objectives and attendee aims Summary of overall course content The regulatory context 09:45-10:30 What is happening in terms of regulation right now? Enforcement measures - ECAs and emission reduction requirements in shipping Assessing ECA compliance solutions: why choose LNG fuel? Current LNG bunkering policy in the Mediterranean 10:30-11:00 Introduction to the properties and behaviour of LNG 11:00-11:45 This session will provide a background to the key physical characteristics of LNG. Learn how LNG behaves in different conditions to better understand how this can influence design, safety and operational decisions when using LNG as a fuel for ships. What is LNG? Introduction to the composition of liquid natural gas Optimum conditions for LNG: understanding the impact of temperature and pressure on LNG Methane number and LNG energy content compared to traditional marine fuels Introduction to the properties and behaviour of LNG - continued 11:45-12:30 This session will provide a background to the key physical characteristics of LNG. Learn how LNG behaves in different conditions to better understand how this can influence design, safety and operational decisions when using LNG as a fuel for ships. Lunch 12:30-13:30 Safety and regulation 13:30-14:15 The cryogenic and flammable nature of LNG makes ensuring safety during design and operations of the utmost importance. Understand potential safety hazards, how they can be avoided and what the regulations and guidelines state. Learning the safety and structural risks of using a cryogenic Gas detection and control systems Safety considerations of LNG and gas containment systems Minimising venting Preparing for the risk of cryogenic spills IGF code and LNG vessel design 14:15-15:00 Learn the implications of the developing IGF code on all aspects ensuring safety during the design of LNG fuelled vessels. Align this knowledge with an understanding of the commercial implications of design including how much space LNG tanks take up on different vessel types and the implications this has on vessel payload for different applications. Fuel system arrangement Bunkering system location Control system and safety mechanisms Safety/firefighting systems Tank location and implications on vessel payload Retrofit considerations and examples Afternoon coffee and networking break 15:00-15:30 IGF Code continued 15:30-16:15 LNG containment: pressurised and nonpressurised storage systems 16:15-17:00 The properties of LNG require methods of fuel storage new to traditional shipping. The containment system chosen can greatly impact design, and the operation of the LNG fuelled ships. This session explores the ways in which LNG tanks vary and what to look for to ensure optimum compatibility for each vessel s operations. Overview of shape, fabrication and pressure of tanks Understanding the operational implications of pressurised and no pressurised containment systems: how does this compare to operations using traditional marine fuels? Understanding key differences between the available on board storage tanks
