ABS granted Approval in Principle (AIP) to TECHNOLOG for an innovative liquified natural gas (LNG) fuel gas container system.
The portable tank system, which will ultimately come in 20 and 40-foot containers, is designed to be filled at land-based LNG terminals and shipped to vessels via rail, road or cargo ship before being loaded onboard an LNG-fueled vessel. Once connected to the power supply system, it is considered part of the vessel and must comply with the IGF Code.
All LNG shipments must be handled in compliance with the IMDG code, as well as other national rules and codes that apply to safe transportation and shipment of hazardous goods.
