Description: Transportation of LNG by sea commenced in 1958 when the ‘Methane Pioneer’ carried 5,000 m3 of LNG from the USA to the UK. Since then, particularly in the 21st century, LNG shipping has grown rapidly.
To put this level of advance in context, in 2006, the world fleet of LNG carriers was over 200 ships. At the beginning of 2020 there were 540 LNG carriers in service, with over 130 LNG carriers on order. In 2019, LNG carriers carried out 5,701 trade voyages.
Over the last 60 years, the size, capacity and complexity of LNG carriers has increased significantly. In addition, the technology has continued to evolve in respect of propulsion plants and cargo management systems. The commercial nature of LNG shipping has also evolved, as LNG is increasingly traded and used as an energy source around the world. Initially, LNG carriers were dedicated to a specific project, however, LNG operations have now developed into long term and spot charters.
With the rapid growth of LNG shipping, the introduction of a system of internationally recognised and structured training programmes was necessary. In 2005, the Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO) released the first version of its ‘LNG Shipping Competency Standards’ to provide guidance and suggested best practice for the industry. A second edition was published in 2008. This third edition was published in 2020 to incorporate developments within the LNG industry, including the latest updates to The International Code for Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code).
The SIGTTO ‘LNG Shipping Competency Standards’ summarise the minimum tasks and knowledge considered necessary, relative to the area of individual responsibility. This publication, ‘LNG Shipping Knowledge’, follows that format, providing the underpinning knowledge meeting the recommendations of the third edition of the ‘LNG Shipping Competency Standards’. This makes this publication a powerful and useful support tool for understanding modern LNG shipping.
During the course of the construction of this publication, technical expertise has been sought across many professional sources.
As LNG shipping possesses an excellent safety record, with very few incidents compared to similar segments of the shipping industry, it is essential that companies and individuals continue to invest in training to enhance and improve their knowledge and awareness of LNG shipping.
