ABS, Sembcorp Marine and A STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing Complete LNG JDPs
ABS, Sembcorp Marine and A STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) have successfully completed joint development projects in LNG bunkering and the use of LNG as a marine fuel.
The projects arose out of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by ABS, Sembcorp Marine and A STAR’s IHPC in 2018 to advance the use of LNG as a marine fuel and to make LNG more accessible, reliable and safer for the industry.
The joint development projects (JDPs) brought together engineers with diverse backgrounds and expertise to study a range of key issues including leakage during LNG bunkering, boil-off rate management for Type C tanks, and the heat transfer between LNG containment and surrounding structures.
