Core Systems & Technical Features

1. Large-Scale Storage & High-Efficiency Bunkering System

   The station's core features large vacuum-insulated LNG storage tanks, with capability for single or multiple tank configurations. The total storage capacity can be flexibly designed according to port throughput. It is paired with high-pressure submerged pumps and large-flow marine loading arms, offering bunkering rates ranging from 100 to 500 cubic meters per hour. This meets the varying refueling time requirements from small harbor craft to large ocean-going vessels, significantly improving berth turnover efficiency.

2. Full-Process Intelligence & Precise Metering

   The bunkering station is equipped with a fully automated ship-shore coordinated control system, supporting automatic vessel identification, electronic geofence management, remote booking, and one-click bunkering process initiation. The custody transfer system utilizes high-precision mass flow meters and online gas chromatographs, enabling real-time, accurate measurement of bunkered quantity and immediate analysis of fuel quality. All data is synchronized to port, maritime, and customer energy management platforms, ensuring fair trade, transparent process, and full traceability.

3. Inherent Safety & Multi-Layer Protection Design

   The design strictly adheres to the IGF Code, ISO standards, and the highest requirements for port hazardous material management, establishing a three-tier protection system:

   • Inherent Safety: Storage tanks employ full-containment or membrane tank technology with redundant process systems; critical equipment holds SIL2 safety level certification.
   • Active Monitoring: Integrates fiber optic sensing for micro-leak, infrared thermal imaging for fire detection, area-wide combustible gas monitoring, and intelligent video analytics for behavior monitoring.
   • Emergency Safeguards: Features a Safety Instrumented System (SIS) independent of the control system, ship-shore Emergency Release Couplings (ERC), and an intelligent linkage response mechanism with the port fire station.

4. Multi-Energy Synergy & Low-Carbon Smart Operation

   The station innovatively integrates a cold energy recovery and utilization system, harnessing the released during LNG regasification for station cooling, ice making, or supplying surrounding cold chain facilities, thereby improving comprehensive energy utilization. Operations are managed via a Smart Energy Cloud Platform, enabling intelligent bunkering schedule optimization, predictive maintenance for equipment health, and real-time calculation and visualization of energy consumption and carbon reduction. It can seamlessly integrate with the port's comprehensive dispatch system, supporting port digitalization and carbon neutrality management.

Project Value & Industry Significance

The LNG Shore-Based Marine Bunkering Station is not merely a fuel supply point but a core energy infrastructure component of a modern green port. Its successful implementation will powerfully drive the transformation of ports from traditional "energy consumption nodes" to "clean energy hubs," providing shipowners with stable, economical, and environmentally friendly fuel choices. This standardized, modular, and intelligent solution provides a rapidly replicable, flexibly scalable, and intelligently upgradeable system model for the construction or retrofitting of LNG ship bunkering facilities worldwide. It fully demonstrates the company's leading capabilities and profound industry influence in high-end clean energy equipment manufacturing, complex system integration, and full-lifecycle digital services.
