Since LNG has explosive properties and difficulty to handle, it was avoided using LNG as fuel. However, recently LNG has been considered as alternative fuel of HFO. Several LNG fuel supply system has developed. Furthermore, STX ONS is developing LNG fuel bunkering system and bunkering shuttle. Bunkering shuttle carries out refueling LNG fuel while LNG fuel ship is on cargo work. In case of emergency, bunkering shuttle breakaway from the ship but a little amount of LNG falls down on deck. It can disperse to cargo work area also can explode. In this case LNG dispersed on deck was not considerable.

12 리터급 경유엔진을 개조한 LNG 혼소엔진에 대해 출력, 연비 및 배출가스등의 성능을 평가하였으며 이를 바탕으로 LNG혼소 화물 자동차의 경제성을 분석하였다. 출력은 경유엔진에 비해 5% 정도 낮은 수준으로 평가되었으며 엔진효율은 경유의 경우 37.4%, LNG혼소의 경우 35.9%로 경유엔진의 경우가 다소 높게 나타났다. 배출가스는 탄화수소를 제외하고 PM, NOx, CO 및 $CO_2$는 LNG 혼소의 경우가 낮은 특성을 보였다. 경제성 비교를 위해 연료비용과 환경비용 관점에서 각각 분석하였으며 유가보조금 및 할인을고려할 경우에도 LNG 혼소 화물차의 경제성이 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

국제해사기구(IMO)의 선박 배출가스 기준 강화로 인해 LNG 연료추진선박의 필요성이 대두되고 있으며 관련 분야에 대한 기술개발 및 실용화 촉진 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. LNG 연료탱크는 운항 중 연료소비로 인하여 잔류량이 70% 미만이 될 경우 슬로싱을 고려하여야 하므로 재액화 장치를 탑재하기 어려운 중소형 LNG 연료추진선박은 Type C 형태의 압력 탱크가 적용될 가능성이 높다. 이러한 LNG 연료추진선박에 적용되는 LNG 탱크는 구조적 안전성과 더불어 LNG를 오래 보관하기 위한 단열성능이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 Type C LNG Tank에 대한 단열성능 평가 절차를 제안하였고, 실험을 통해 LNG 탱크의 열적 특성으로 인한 온도, 압력, BOG(Boil Off Gas)의 변화를 비교, 분석함으로서 BOR(Boil Off Rate) 테스트 절차에 대한 타당성과 유효성을 검증하였다.

The use of gas as fuel, particularly liquefied natural gas (LNG), has increased in recent years owing to its lower sulfur and particulate emissions compared to fuel oil or marine diesel oil. LNG is a low temperature, volatile fuel with very low flash point. The major challenges of using LNG are related to fuel bunkering, storing, and handling during ship operation. The main components of an LNG fuel system are the bunkering equipment, fuel tanks, vaporizers/heaters, pressure build-up units (PBUs), and gas controlling units. Low-pressure dual-fuel (DF) engines are predominant in small LNG-powered vessels and have been operating in many small- and medium-sized ferries or LNG-fueled generators.(Tamura, K., 2010; Esoy, V., 2011[1][2]) Small ships sailing at coast or offshore rarely have continuous operation at constant engine load in contrast to large ships sailing in the ocean. This is because ship operators need to change the engine load frequently due to various obstacles and narrow channels. Therefore, controlling the overall system performance of a gas supply system during transient operations and decision of bunkering time under a very poor infrastructure condition is crucial. In this study, we analyzed the fuel consumption, the system stability, and the dynamic characteristics in supplying fuel gas for operating conditions with frequent engine load changes using a commercial analysis program. For the model ship, we selected the 'Econuri', Asia's first LNG-powered vessel, which is now in operation at Incheon Port of South Korea.

A diesel-Liquefied natural gas(LNG) combustion engine truck fleet demonstration project had been carried out and commercial expansion project was launched. The key issues of these projects are the safety of LNG fuel station and the reduction of natural gas relief. When LNG is fueled to LNG vehicles the heat is input in the LNG system. The LNG in the fueling system was boiled and the vapor of LNG is vented through the safety devices. The temperature of the vapor of LNG is $-108^{\circ}C$ and density is heavier than air. It can be dispersed to downside of the fuel station. The safety evaluation is carried out using CFD program and risk assessment program for the vapor of LNG in the LNG vehicle fuel station. The hazards are identified and suggested the operation instruction to reduce the relief of LNG vapor.

해양환경 및 배출가스 규제로 지금까지와는 다른 새로운 연료공급시스템을 적용하게 되는 LNG 추진 선박의 경우 초기 설계 단계에서 위해도 평가가 수행된다. 위해도 평가는 위험에 대한 분석과 평가를 체계적으로 가능하게 하는 일련의 논리적인 단계이다. LNG 연료추진선박은 크게 LNG Tank, Fuel Gas Supply System, Bunkering Manifold, LNG Engine으로 구성되며 이는 해당 선박의 특성, 크기, 항로, 운항거리, 사용엔진 등에 따라 구성요소가 달라지므로 각각의 선박에 대한 위험 요소가 달라지며, 위해도 분석 또한 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 LNG를 연료로 하는 선박들의 시스템에 대해 고찰하고, 실제 위험도 평가가 진행된 몇 가지 사례 선박들의 위해도 평가에 대한 분석을 하고자 한다.

The LNG tank are properly designed to fit with the limited installation space of a light duty truck, Hyundai Porter II. This designed LNG tank has 36 liter capacity, so two LNG tanks installed on Porter II truck allow it to run about 432 km per fueling. It is almost two times greater than CNG mileage for same truck. To analyze the relationship between car acceleration and heat leak for different fuel vapor/liquid ratios, the modified Fortran program "Pro-Heatleak" is used. Computational analysis shows that the relationship between the heat leak and vapor/liquid ratio is linearly inversed. Heat leak increases with increasing of car acceleration when fuel vapor/liquid ratio is less than 0.5 and decreases when fuel vapor/liquid ratio is greater than 0.5. The difference between maximum and minimum heat leak for full tank is about 12 percents. For the fuel vapor/liquid ratio equal to 0.5 heat leak does not depend on car acceleration.

With the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2020 and by 50 percent by 2050 from their 2005 level, International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulated the emissions of SOx and NOx by setting the emission control area in 2012. Since these environmental regulations have been reinforced, demands for the LNG fuel ships are expected to increase dramatically. Accordingly, the worldwide shipbuilding companies spur the development of the LNG fueled ships. Therefore, it is essential to carry out the research on the development of LNG fuel tank, which is one of the important components of the LNG fuel supply system. In this study, the deliberate finite element analysis of type-B LNG fuel tank for 10,000 TEU containership was carried out to evaluate structural safety and provide the process for analyzing stress levels and evaluating fatigue life of target structural. In particular, thermo-structural analysis and fatigue analysis were carried out using the databases on materials and structures of LNG fuel tank.
