Risk Focus: LNG Bunkering Risk Focus: LNG Bunkering – A Guide to Safe LNG Bunkering Practices (Second Edition), developed in collaboration with Brookes Bell, presents a practical resource for the safe and efficient bunkering of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the maritime industry. In response to global decarbonisation efforts and the growing adoption of LNG as a fuel in transition, this guide explores the physical characteristics of LNG, associated hazards, and recommended best practices for its handling, storage, and transfer. It covers key technical aspects including containment systems, pre-bunkering preparations, operational protocols, emergency response planning, and crew training aligned with the IGF Code.
