An LNG terminal is a facility that handles the import or export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The terminal includes equipment for loading and unloading LNG from LNG carriers, liquefaction and regasification, storage, pumping, compression, and measurement of LNG. LNG is typically transported by sea as a liquid because it is the most efficient way …

The transportation of gas by ships is the most technologically complex operation. Specialized gas tankers transport gas in a liquefied condition – Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Liquid Natural Gas (LNG). An important aspect of gas transportation is maintaining it in a certain condition at a specific temperature and pressure. Pressure or sealed gas tankers …

A compressor is designed to compress air and other gases. The process creates a total pressure of more than 1500 mm H2O. Ship air compressors are necessary to provide the Ship’s Power Plant and the rest of the ship’s equipment with compressed air of various pressures and flow rates. The purpose of on-board compressors. Reciprocating …
In one passage, the ship overcomes vast distances; most of the time, it is thousands of miles from shore. If a breakdown occurs in the open ocean, the crew must be able to repair the damage themselves. However, it is impossible to do so in some situations without contacting the service center. We will discuss …

The success of a merchant vessel’s voyage can largely depend on the smallest details. Therefore, special attention should be paid to accurately operating ship systems. Sensors are installed in each of them, transmitting information to modern computing devices. However, some calculations must be made by the crew members themselves. Calculations can also be performed in …
