The LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) shipping industry, much like other segments, grapples with a lack of transparency and misaligned incentives among stakeholders.

This misalignment often hampers the pursuit of innovative improvements that could benefit the industry and the planet. Typically, owners and charterers in LNG shipping are reluctant to share data and insights, creating barriers to optimizing the safe transport of LNG—a highly dynamic and complex challenge. Transporting LNG involves maintaining the cargo at -160 degrees Celsius while managing pressure changes and ensuring the vessel's engines efficiently use boil-off gas. The vessel's master must make critical decisions to maintain cargo conditions for safe discharge, balancing issues like cargo sloshing and boil-off gas usage or liquefaction.

Predict Your Cargo Condition Throughout the Voyage

Danelec’s Boil-Off Gas solution addresses these challenges by enabling you to predict how your cargo will change throughout the voyage based on voyage and performance parameters. Leveraging highly reliable, data-driven models, the solution provides regular recommendations for operational decisions and setpoints, ensuring you arrive at the terminal with specific cargo pressure and temperature conditions. This predictive capability is crucial for maintaining cargo integrity and optimizing fuel use, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of LNG transport.

Increase Your Cargo Discharge Voyage by Voyage

By simulating your LNG voyages, Danelec’s solution models changes in cargo temperature, pressure, composition, and pressure over the course of a voyage. This simulation capability, aligned with your arrival date, empowers you to make informed operational decisions to achieve minimum fuel consumption while ensuring adherence to desired voyage outcomes.
