Ships Bunker Themselves With LNG For Their Own Use, A Process Known As LNG Bunkering

LNG Bunkering is an important process that involves the transfer of liquefied natural gas from one source to another. The transfer is made through the use of dry break coupling, a valve arrangement that allows liquid flow to shut off.


Natural gas is used to create Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which is a non-corrosive, non-toxic liquid that has been refrigerated to a temperature of around -162° C (-259.6° F) under atmospheric pressure. The majority of the energy used for commercial transportation currently comes from fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel, and when these fuels are burned, emissions are released that have a significant impact on air quality and climate change.


Several countries have been building port LNG Bunkering stations. This infrastructure can be used to supply zero-carbon fuels, as well as liquefied synthetic methane. This can help the shipping industry transition to a decarbonized model. It can be used to supply land-based fueling trucks. The infrastructure can also supply liquefied biomethane.


The uses of LNG Bunkering in the shipping industry have been increasing rapidly in the past few years. The reasons behind this include the rising demand for clean and stable fuels and the environmental benefits that LNG has to offer. 


These issues are significant for the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, our local communities, and Canada as a whole. Shipping lines from a variety of industries—container, cruise, vehicle carriers, and regional tankers—that call on the Port of Vancouver are anticipated to embrace natural gas as a marine fuel in the form of LNG Bunkering during the course of the next ten years.
