FLBT 다중 안전 이접안 시스템 설계 및 구현

Abstract

Since 2012, the Baltic sea and some parts of American Sea have been set as Emission Control Areas(ECAs) by International Maritime Organization(IMO). ECAs are being spread rapidly as the result of tightening environmental regulations. Accordingly, the demand for LNG powered ships has been increased. As a result of this, discussions on LNG bunkering have been opened in Singapore, China and Europe. Korean government has recently initiated a research program for development of a Floating LNG Bunkering Terminal(FLBT). This paper introduces a concept of a multiple docking aid system for FLBT operation. The proposed multiple docking aid system has ability to monitor a LNG Carrier(LNGC) and a LNG Bunkering Shuttle(LNGBS) simultaneously.
