Breaking Barriers: Nuclear-Powered LNG Carriers, Sanctioned Flows to China & Bold New SPAs
From Samsung’s nuclear LNG carrier design to sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 cargoes landing in China, this week saw game-changing moves across the LNG value chain.
Welcome back to LNG4U — your go-to source for the shifts defining today’s LNG market.
We kick off with a sharp insight to keep you ahead 🎓, then dig into the developments that count — from price moves 💰 to offshore shakeups 🚢.
Let’s get started.
🎓 LNGKnowledge
LNG Tanks are stripped and line drained before cargo tanks warmup operation 🔴. With permission from the terminal , the ship is trimmed by the stern, normal 2.5 meters, and upright to maximize discharge at the discharge port (Membrane type). The maximum amount of liquid should be removed from the cargo tanks. Previous statements regarding damage to cargo pumps ❌ caused by running for extended periods with partially disrupted flow still apply. It is a condition that should be avoided 🚨 whenever possible : 1️⃣ Start the spray pumps early enough to avoid any possible starting problems that could be caused by very low tank levels 📊. 2️⃣ As with the main cargo pump when the stripping/spray pump loses suction, stop it ❌ and change to the next tank. 3️⃣ When all pumpable cargo 💧 has been stripped ashore, drain the system back to the nominated drain tank. |  Source : GTT |
