Core Systems & Technical Features

1. Storage & High-Efficiency Bunkering System

   The station designed vacuum-insulated LNG storage tank system that supports flexible capacity expansion, catering to the varying scale requirements from regional ports to major hub ports. It is equipped with high-pressure submerged pumps and large-flow marine loading arms, capable of a maximum bunkering rate up to 500 cubic meters per hour. This enables efficient refueling for vessels ranging from inland waterway ships to ocean-going giants, significantly enhancing port operational efficiency.

2. Intelligent Collaborative Operation & Precise Metering System

   Leveraging an IoT-based ship-shore coordination platform, the system enables automatic vessel identification, intelligent bunkering schedule planning, one-click process initiation, and fully automated operation. The bunkering unit integrates custody-transfer grade mass flow meters and online gas chromatographs, ensuring precise measurement of bunkered quantity and real-time monitoring of fuel quality. Data is synchronized in real-time to port management, maritime regulatory, and client terminal systems, achieving full-chain transparency and traceability.

3. High-Level Inherent Safety & Multi-Layer Protection Architecture

   The design fully complies with international standards such as the IGF Code and ISO 20519, establishing a three-tier "Prevention-Monitoring-Emergency" safety system:

   • Prevention Layer: Storage tanks feature full-containment structures; process systems have redundancy; critical equipment is SIL2 safety certified.
   • Monitoring Layer: Employs distributed optical fiber leak detection, infrared thermal imaging, area-wide combustible gas detection, and AI-powered video behavior recognition.
   • Emergency Layer: Configured with an independent Safety Instrumented System (SIS), ship-shore Emergency Release Couplings (ERC), and an intelligent linkage mechanism with the port fire service.
4. Comprehensive Energy Utilization & Intelligent Operation Platform

   The station integrates an LNG cold energy recovery system, utilizing the released during regasification for station cooling or nearby cold chain applications, achieving energy cascade utilization. Supported by a digital twin operation management platform, it enables optimized bunkering dispatch, predictive equipment health management, online carbon emission accounting, and intelligent energy efficiency analysis. It can seamlessly integrate with the port's Terminal Operating System (TOS), contributing to the development of smart, green, and efficient modern ports.

Project Value & Industry Significance

The LNG Shore-Based Marine Bunkering Station is more than just a supply point for clean marine fuel; it is core infrastructure for port energy structure upgrading and the low-carbon transition of the shipping industry. With its standardized design, intelligent operation, and scalable architecture, this solution provides a highly replicable and adaptable system template for the global construction or retrofitting of LNG bunkering facilities. The project fully showcases the company's leading capabilities in high-end clean energy equipment R&D, complex system integration, and full-lifecycle services, playing a significant industry-leading role in promoting the green and sustainable development of international shipping.
