• Compact plug & play scenario
• Can fill from a single or multiple ISO or tanker trailers
• Has a secondary hose to enable a second tanker fill
• Criteria of the selection of the pump type
• Unloading to a single load line
• Segregation of hazardous zones
• Managing vapor in the system
• The need for inert gas supply
• 20’ ISO framed unit, fitted with a single submerged pump, valving, and control panel.
• 20’ ISO frame is a standard frame size for transport and side lifters. It also provides sufficient distance between the process and the electrical system, to enable the control panel to be out of the hazardous zone.
• Two additional hoses to enable emptying of a second ISO / tanker.
• The system would require a three phase, 460 V power supply, of a minimum 60 Amps (depends on the actual process, pumps power consumption, etc.)
• The actual load on the system would be less than the 60 Amps (depends on the actual process, pumps power consumption, etc.). The pump is driven from a VFD.
• The pumping rate of the AC-32 (example) is 1200 LPM, which equates to 500 kg/min (based on the LNG min density of 0.422 kg/L)
• With each ISO having an 18 T payload and the tankers approximately 22 T payload, there is a minimum of 36 minutes and 44 minutes of pumping respectively.
• Pump
• Sump
• Control valves
• instrumentation
• non–hazardous area control panel
• pipe work
• suction and return hoses
Green fuel technologies, such as LNG, hydrogen, and ammonia, driven by the demand for reduced ship carbon emissions and sustainable development, are poised to become the core force behind future energy transitions in shipping.
Integrating renewable and alternative energy resources with advanced bunkering systems enables a seamless transition to cleaner energy while propelling the maritime industry toward zero-emission goals.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a target to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in international shipping by 2050.
Countries such as the EU, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea are driving trends in ship fuel transitions, adopting green fuels like LNG, hydrogen, and ammonia to reduce emissions.
Simultaneously, efforts are underway to standardize fuel bunkering technologies and infrastructure.
The growing demand for green fuels has prompted collaboration between ports and enterprises worldwide to establish regulations and standards for safety and technology.
These initiatives are shaping the new energy landscape, fostering a more sustainable and cleaner maritime industry while supporting the prosperity of a low-carbon economy.
• Environmental Protection: Traditional marine fuels, such as heavy oil, produce significant greenhouse gases and pollutants when burned, impacting marine ecosystems and global climate.
• International Carbon Reduction: Organizations like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have set emission reduction targets for the shipping industry, urging countries and companies to adopt measures to lower carbon emissions.
• Stricter Regulations: Nations are implementing increasingly stringent fuel use regulations, driving the shipping industry to transition to cleaner fuels.
• Technological Advancements: The development of new clean fuels and bunkering technologies has made green shipping a viable possibility.
• Market Pressure: Growing societal focus on environmental protection is accelerating the shipping industry’s green transition.
• Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): It is a low-carbon alternative fuel that is increasingly being adopted by vessels to reduce carbon emissions and comply with environmental regulations.
• Hydrogen: With the advancement of hydrogen energy technology, Nikkiso also supports hydrogen bunkering. As a zero-carbon fuel, hydrogen is ideal for green energy vessels.
• Ammonia: Ammonia, another promising clean energy source, can replace traditional fossil fuels and does not produce carbon dioxide during combustion.
• Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG): Nikkiso additionally supports LPG bunkering, a well-established alternative energy source.
• Other Green Fuels: As green energy technologies evolve, Nikkiso’s bunkering systems are adaptable to future sustainable fuel types, providing essential energy supply support for vessels.
