Properties and Safety Management about LNG Carrier

Abstract:

Due to the special chemical and physical properties of the LNG, there are some safety risks in LNG transportation. Maritime transportation is the key link of LNG transportation, the safety of which even more directly has impact on the healthy development of LNG transportation. In accordance with the safety management system of “human – machine – environment - control”, the hidden risks linked to the safety management of LNG ship are analyzed in different aspects such as cargo property, ship factors, environment factors, human factors and management factors respectively; Combined the home and abroad rules about LNG, the impact and requirement to safety management to LNG are discussed, too. Then, polices and methods are given responding to the above noticed factors.
