Rollover received considerable attention following a serious venting incident at the LNG receiving terminal at La Spezia, Italy in 1971.

What is Rollover ❓ See the second issue 📝

👉 The various reasons for rollover are :

👉 The Effects of Rollover are :

👉 Measures to prevent rollover are :

Both the tanks on the shore and ships are subjected to rollover, but the possibility of Rollover to take place is higher 📈 in ship tanks due to the size and capability of handling different cargoes in the same tank.

A joint venture has brought in a Russian cargo to commission what will be Vietnam’s second LNG import terminal 🎊.

The 145,819-cbm steamship 👉 Blue Dragon 1 (ex-Stena Blue Sky, built 2006) arrived on 25 May at the Cai Mep LNG Terminal 🏗 near the Mekong River delta with a cargo loaded from Russia’s Sakhalin 2 plant on 10 April 📌.

Petronas 174,000-cbm LNG carrier Puteri Sejinjang (built 2024) is due to arrive at the new 14-mpta LNG Canada plant near Kitimat 🏭 on Canada’s west coast as the project prepares to export its first cargoes 🥇.

Shell controls a 40% stake in the project, with Petronas holding 25%, PetroChina and Mitsubishi Corp 15% each and Korea Gas Corp 5%

The U.S. Trade Representative softened fee proposals 📉 for non-U.S.-built LNG tankers and car carriers 🚢 amid its ongoing effort to counter China's dominance on the high seas and revive domestic shipbuilding 🏗.

The revised proposal, unveiled by USTR, would remove LNG-related penalties 💧 for failing to export a percentage of fuel on U.S.-owned ships.

Dual and tri-fuel diesel-electric (TFDE) LNG carriers could face more headwinds 🚨 than steam turbine vessels as new emissions regulations kick in, TFDEs are the worst in class 🔴.

While the older steam turbine vessels might be too small, burn too much fuel and have too high a cargo boil-off 💯, they still account for around one-third of the fleet and it is difficult to see how the sector can do without them for

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) have received approval in principle (AiP) 🎯 from Lloyd’s Register for the design of a 👉 174,000-cubic meter (cbm) liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier (LNGC) equipped with Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology.

MOL sees SOFC technology as a highly efficient, high-temperature process that converts fuels like natural gas, hydrogen, methanol, or ammonia directly into electricity and heat ⚡ through an electrochemical process without burning them 🚫.

Hanwha Ocean and Korean Register (KR) have joined forces 🤝 to develop a forward deckhouse LNG carrier 🛳.

The concept offers enhanced layout flexibility, with the optimized hull form design expected to reduce wind resistance and improve fuel efficiency 📉, while providing more space for incorporating energy-saving devices such as wind-assisted propulsion systems 💡.

Shipbuilders and technology providers have unveiled several new concepts for LNG carrier designs 📊 to cut emissions and improve efficiencies 💡.

Samsung Heavy Industries has teamed with the Korean Register 🤝 to develop a 174,000-cbm LNG carrier with three cargo tanks 3️⃣.

The new design would lighten the hull, improve fuel efficiency, decrease cargo boil-off and reduce operating costs 💵.

The Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) shipyard in South Korea has hosted a topside steel cutting ceremony 🎊 for a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessel that will form part of an LNG project 🏗 being developed near Kitimat in British Columbia, Canada 📌.

The ceremony marked a major milestone for the 💰4 billion Cedar LNG project, as stated by its developers, Pembina Pipeline Corporation (Pembina) and the Haisla Nation 🤝.

Hong Kong-based electricity company CLP and state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) have reached a new milestone 🤝 in their partnership by completing Hong Kong’s first LNG bunkering 🥇 with simultaneous cargo operation.

The milestone operation was conducted at Kwai Tsing Container Terminals, where Hanoi Express, a containership owned by German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd, received around 10,000 cubic meters of LNG 💧 during cargo handling.

CNOOC deployed the 184.7-meter-long bunker vessel Haiyang Shiyou 301 described as “the largest LNG bunkering and transport vessel in the world” 🥇, with a storage capacity of 30,000 cubic meters 💧 and a refueling rate of 1,650 cubic meters per hour.

Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering Co., Ltd (CIMC SOE) has signed 🤝 another 1+1 20 000 m3 LNG bunkering vessel order 💧 with a European shipowner through Rensen-Driessen, marking the sixth order 6️⃣ for the same vessel type secured by the company.

The new LNG bunkering vessel is scheduled for delivery in September 2027, with the optional vessel set for December 2027 🎊.

CMA CGM celebrated the delivery of CMA CGM Saint Germain, the second vessel of four 24,000 TEU LNG-powered container ships, built by Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (group).

These vessels are equipped with GTT Mark III membrane containment system, offering proven performance, high thermal efficiency, and optimized boil-off rates.

MOL Chemical Tankers has added the fourth 4️⃣ LNG dual-fuel stainless steel chemical tanker to its fleet 💧.

The newbuild is a 26,000 dwt vessel named 👉 Fairchem Pinnacle, and was constructed by Fukuoka Shipbuilding in Japan 🏗.

Running on environmentally friendly dual-fuel engines, the vessels are expected to reduce CO2 emissions 📉 by up to 25% compared to traditional marine fuels.

HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) has landed a ‘massive’ 💰1.76 billion contract 🤝 to build eight eco-friendly containerships 8️⃣.

The vessels will be constructed by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HD HHI) at the yard in Ulsan 🏗 and due to join the fleet of Singapore-based Ocean Network Express (ONE) in 2028 🎊

Japanese majors Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Imabari Shipbuilding, and Japan Marine United Corporation are due to commence 🎊 a joint study to establish a construction scheme for 👉 liquefied hydrogen carriers.

This study will reinforce the cooperative relationship between the companies 🤝 for the commercialization of a liquefied hydrogen supply chain 💧 that will work toward the realization of a carbon-neutral society.

AD Ports Group, Advario and CMA CGM Group have signed a collaboration agreement 🤝 to explore the feasibility of developing an e-methanol bunkering 🔥 and export facility at Khalifa Port.

The project is expected to provide critical infrastructure 🏭 to complete the supply value chain and bridge commercial e-methanol production with off-takers 💧, such as CMA CGM, in support of accelerating the decarbonization of the global shipping industry 🌎.
