LNG

Liquefied Natural Gas

In 2019, the IMO adopted an initial international shipping greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction strategy, and eventually set out a vision to decarbonise the shipping industry as soon as possible. The initial strategy aims to make total GHG reductions of 50% by 2050 while the decarbonisation vision aims to reduce carbon intensity from shipping emission by 40% by 2030.

The availability of LNG as marine bunker fuel will assist shipowners, marketers and operators on the shipping emission reduction aspirations with a number of benefits:

30% reduction in CO₂ emissions

90% reduction in NOx emissions

ZERO sulphur emissions

In this journey towards a future of reduced emissions, PETRONAS will make LNG readily available to help reduce GHG emissions in the shipping industry.

PETRONAS Marine has a proven track record in LNG bunker transfer, supplying LNG to customers' vessels for generation of propulsion or electrical power safely and efficiently.

We continue to explore new ways to deliver energy reliably to our business partners, including:

barges or bunker vessels
trucks
cartridges or portable tanks (ISO containers)

We are an experienced operator in Southeast Asia offering LNG bunker transfer from Type-C Tanks to Membrane Tanks. Our expertise and experience in managing the pressure and temperature difference between the tanks enables PETRONAS Marine to deliver our solutions safely and efficiently to some of the world’s largest LNG-powered vessels calling to ports in the region.

PETRONAS Marine provides a comprehensive range of LNG tank conditioning services to meet the needs of our business partners. From tank gassing up to cooling down, our services help ensure that our customers’ LNG-powered vessels are in the best condition to receive LNG.

Tank Gassing Up

This service helps to condition new LNG storage tanks or existing ones that were exposed to atmospheres other than that of natural gas or gas feed. This is an important safety requirement to avoid explosive atmosphere mixture and contamination to the LNG.

Tank Cooling Down

LNG is normally kept at a cryogenic temperature of -163°C. This service cools down the LNG tank to between -130°C to -150°C prior to receiving LNG to prevent thermal shock to the tank. It is a common requirement for LNG-powered vessels to cool down the upper section of storage tank as the LNG level remaining on board reduces.

Tank Gassing Up and Cooling Down Services

This service fulfils the standard requirement for LNG-powered vessels that are newly delivered or have recently conducted maintenance activities on the LNG storage/containment system.

PETRONAS Marine also provides heel supply to LNG carriers and LNG-powered vessels to ensure the safe and efficient operations of our business partners. With heel supply, vessels are able to maintain the ready condition of the storage tanks ahead of reaching ports, achieving significant time and cost saving on operations.
