Welcome to another issue of my LNG Shipping Newsletter! I’m kicking things off with a quick insight to sharpen your LNG knowledge 🎓, followed by a snapshot of the latest LNG prices 💰, and then we’ll unpack the key developments in LNG shipping from the past week 📅.
🎓 LNGKnowledge
The LNG ship can be loaded partially when a failure occurs in one tank 🚨 or simply if the discharge port requires a quantity less than the total volume of the ship.
The partial loading can be in two, three or four tanks. These conditions are found in the Loading / Stability booklet and approved by the classification society 🖋.
Before accepting any loading/discharging instruction, the Captain/Chief Officer must ensure that, during all the sea passage, the ship's hull will not experience any unacceptable stress (Shear force, Bending moment) by checking/calculating all the possible scenarios 🎯.
