New Wison Multi-Functional LNG Vessel Design to Support Bunkering Operations
Wison Offshore & Marine (Wison) has announced the development of a vessel to be used for liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering, a multi-functional carrier named Wison-LNG-Distributor (LNGD).
The vessel design, which has a scalable capacity of 5,000 to 20,000 cubic metres (cbm), integrates the functions of LNG loading, bunkering, and container delivery, which Wison says "could make regional LNG redistribution more affordable and efficient."
"It is also an ideal LNG distribution solution for near-shore LNG milk-run deliveries in some locations that have restricted access such as shallow rivers and harbours," explains Wison.
The vessel is noted to feature a bunkering arm intended to enable quick connection with the receiving unit’s manifold, eliminating the need for a hose transfer system at each receiving point in the process.
"Our LNGD solution will become a key enabler for small-scale FSRU and FSRP development in the areas that are either inaccessible or too small to be commercially feasible served by a large-scale floating unit or land facility," said Cui Ying, CEO of Wison Offshore and Marine.
"By dedicating to the development of cost-effective and innovative products across the LNG value chain, we’re tailoring solutions to various demand scenarios and clearing roadblocks for LNG distribution to end markets that remain untapped."
