Remarks about the European Ports’ Regulations of Natural Gas Bunkering
Uwagi do zasad bunkrowania gazu naturalnego w portach europejskich
Abstract:
W artykule przedstawiono procedury bunkrowania skroplonego gazu naturalnego na podstawie zatwierdzonych przepisów w wybranych portach. Zwrócono uwagę na właściwości metanu w postaci skroplonej oraz zagrożenia występujące podczas bunkrowania relacji bunkierka-statek i cysterna-statek. Wskazano na wyniki badań doświadczalnych nad zachowaniem zasad bezpieczeństwa podczas transportu LNG. Wydane przepisy regulujące zasady bunkrowania mają za zadanie minimalizować ryzyko zdarzeń niebezpiecznych podczas transferu tego paliwa. Występuje duże podobieństwo przepisów regulujących procedury bunkrowania uwzględniające jednak specyfikę portu, w którym ten proces ma zachodzić. Autor przedstawił własne uwagi dotyczące analizowanych procedur bunkrowania.
Streszczenie:
In the article there were presented examples of procedures of natural gas bunkering to ships in chosen ports according to approved regulations. The attention was paid to methane properties in liquid state and the threats during fuel transfer from bunkering boat to ship and cistern to ship. The research achievements for keeping the safety rules during LNG transport were indicated. The main task of approved regulations is minimizing the risk of dangerous accidents during fuel bunkering. There occurs a big similarity of fuel bunkering regulations in presented ports with their specificities. The author has submitted own remarks according to analyzed bunkering procedures
