1 INTRODUCTION
On LNG carriers, the heat inflow coming from the outside environmental conditions into the cargo tanks
through the structural arrangement surface areas and through the insulation system causes gas production by
latent vaporisation of the LNG.

The aim of this note is to evaluate the boil-off gas production rate in service.

2 ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions and conditions are considered for boil-off rate calculations. They are based on IMO
conditions and special requirements of the specification.

 LNG in contact with primary barrier

 Environmental conditions :
 Air Temperature : 45°C
 Seawater Temperature : 32°C

 LNG characteristics (*) :


 Tanks filling ratio : 98.0 %
 Composition: Pure methane CH4
 Temperature : - 163 °C

3
Specific density : 425 kg/m
 Latent heat of vaporisation : 511 kJ/kg

(*): Even if the ship should be able to load the cargo up to 98.5% of the total capacity as defined in the
specification, calculations have been run based on 98.0%, as higher levels are not yet approved.
Nevertheless, sensitivity of the BOR calculations with higher filling levels is marginal compared to the applied
design margin.

3 CALCULATION METHOD

3.1 COMPARTMENTS TEMPERATURE


First, temperatures of double hull compartments and cofferdams are necessary in order to evaluate the
temperature difference from one side of the insulation to the other. Then, it will be possible to determine the
heat transfer rate.
Calculations led to get the temperatures are based on the method explained in the document “N300 HULL
ANA 1.1.3 (Temperature charts), rev. 01”, with the above conditions.

CONTAINMENT SYSTEM DESIGN STUDIES

This calculation method can be summarised as follows:

 For each of the six compartments of the double hull, the heat transfer rate i is calculated through each of
the elementary exchange area;

 By applying the equilibrium equation to each of these compartments, the temperature inside the
compartment can be calculated.

 Temperature of double hull is then estimated, considering the two heat transfer modes (conduction and
convection).

3.2 BOIL-OFF RATE DETERMINATION


The heat transfer rate is evaluated for each zone of the double hull, following the equations below:
φ i  Ui S i ΔT

φ j  U jL j ΔT
Where i,j are the heat transfer rates through to the surface Si or the corner Lj;
Ui is the heat transfer coefficient corresponding to Si;
Uj is the heat transfer coefficient corresponding to Lj.
For each cargo tank, the total heat transfer  is the sum of all the local heat transfers:
φ   φi   φ j .
i j

The values of the heat transfer coefficients depend on several parameters, e.g. the location of the
compartment, the nature of insulation (panel or corner)…
They are subject to constant checking and improvements according to insulation systems design progress.
Once the overall heat transfer rate is calculated, the boil-off rate is got from the following formula:
φ
B.O.R.  * 3600 * 24
d* V *L
Where d and L represent respectively the density and vaporisation latent heat of the methane;
V is the cargo capacity (corresponding to 98.0% of the total tank capacity).

4 RESULTS
The nominal boil-off rate predictions are given in the table below. Results show that there is a sufficient margin
versus the design boil-off rate of 0.108% per day.

1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this note is to define the method of boil-off rate (B.O.R.) measurement onboard G.T.T.
membrane LNG Carriers of 159,800 m3 for Cardiff, fitted with dual fuel diesel engines.
The design daily boil-off rate of cargo during laden voyage shall be less than 0.108 % of the full loaded cargo
when assuming the following conditions (Builder’s Specifications):
- Ambient air temperature = + 45 °C
- Sea water temperature = + 32 °C
- Cofferdams temperature maintained at + 5 °C
- Cargo considered as pure methane (density 425 kg/m3, latent heat of vaporization 511 kJ/kg)
- Cargo piping empty

2 GENERAL
The actual loaded vessel boil-off shall be measured and averaged over 10 laden voyages excluding the first
one on entering service, and satisfying the conditions set herein below.
o Voyages where the cumulated time during which the ship encounters sea states exceeding Beaufort 5
is greater than 48 hours shall be excluded from such measurement, whether this cumulated time is in
one or more periods. For shorter voyages (less than 48 hours), this period is reduced to 20% of the
total duration of the voyage.
o The sea states will be recorded in the vessel's logbook in accordance with normal practice.
o For each voyage measurement, the cargo tank vapor pressure P shall be maintained constant
throughout the laden voyage at the pressure P0 in tanks corresponding to the loading temperature, with
a permissible tolerance of 20mbar (i.e. P = P0 +/- 20mbar).
o Forced vaporization of LNG to feed ship's propulsion plant shall be avoided during the voyage
measurement.
o If forced vaporization is applied (gas based propulsion), then a tank-by-tank approach can be
considered: forced vaporization is restricted to one or two tanks, these tanks being excluded from the
measurement sequence (buffer tanks). Number of laden voyages should be extended to permit ten
measurements of each tank. Appendix 2 provides detailed procedure for such LNG based propulsion
system.
o The daily boil-off rate for each voyage shall be calculated as set out in the formula under paragraph 3.
o The design daily boil-off rate is guaranteed for stabilized conditions where, in particular the steady state
thermal gradient across the insulation is reached.
The daily boil-off rate for guarantee purposes will then be the average of the corrected calculated boil-off rates.
In case of tank-by-tank approach, this boil-off rate will be the average of the corrected calculated boil-off rates
of each cargo tank, weighted by its corresponding cargo capacity.
Subject to an agreement between the parties involved in, the ten measurements sequence can be reduced
providing it leads to an average value lower than the contractual boil-off rate.

3 FORMULA
For each of the voyage measurements, the daily B.O.R. should be calculated from the temperature and
volume data recorded by the Custody Transfer System, and from the density data given by the chemical
analysis of the LNG transported. The formula to be used to calculate the B.O.R. is as follows:

4 CORRECTIONS FOR VARIATIONS FROM DESIGN TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS (CT)


The values estimated from the above equation represent the equivalent pure methane boil-off in design
external conditions. For a specific voyage, the mean air, sea water and cofferdam temperatures (T air, Tsw and
Tcof respectively) are different from the design conditions, with an air temperature T air = 45 °C, a sea water
temperature Tsw = 32 °C and a cofferdam temperature Tcof = 5 °C. This is taken into account by the correction
factor for external temperature conditions: CT.

5 CORRECTIONS FOR VARIATIONS FROM STEADY STATE TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS


(CI)
When a ship arrives at a loading port after a ballast voyage during which no cooling down, or a limited cooling
down, has been carried out, the thermal gradient through the various zones of the insulation, except tanks
bottom permanently covered with LNG, deviates significantly from the steady state " cold " condition.
During and after loading, these thermal gradients move slowly towards the steady state, but it is only after
several tens of hours that the final steady state "cold" condition is reached. During this period of time, a part of
the heat contained in the insulation is transferred to the cargo and the corresponding vaporized LNG that, for
practical reasons cannot be separately measured, is included in the various CTS measurements from which
the B.O.R is calculated.
The evaluation of the LNG vaporized quantity due to this transient condition are based on the temperatures,
before and after stabilization, recorded from the sensors arranged at the double hull and secondary barrier
levels. For practical reasons, the temperature considered are those recorded at the end of loading and at the
beginning of unloading. This transient condition is taken into account by the correction for the insulation
thermal condition: CI.

6 SPECIFIC COEFFICIENTS
The values of coefficients to be injected in the general formula for correction of external temperature variations
and unsteady conditions have been calculated and the results applicable to these 159,800 m3 LNG Carriers

APPENDIX 2: TANK-BY-TANK APPROACH

Introduction
Apart from slow speed diesel engine, all the propulsion plants fitted on LNG carriers can be run on gas mode.
It is the case of the conventional steam plant, but also, the dual fuel diesel engine or the gas turbine plant. A
complement to the natural boil-off gas (BOG) may be necessary according to the characteristics of the project.
It can be either HFO, MDO (depending on the type of propulsion) or forced vaporization if pure gas mode is
preferred. In such a case, it is necessary to dissociate the additional LNG consumption from the BOR heat
balance.
Regardless of the forced vaporization, it is also sometimes requested to cool down the natural BOG before
sending it to the machinery. In this extent, some amount of LNG is sprayed, thanks to pumps located in the
cargo tanks. In this case, not only the quantity of sprayed LNG, but also the energy transfer when operating
the pump have to be separated from the BOR heat balance.
The procedure described here below aims at evaluating the BOR in service for vessels with LNG based
propulsion.
It consists in concentrating all the extra operations linked to the propulsion (forced vaporization, fuel pump
energy, LNG spraying or return condensates) to one or two tanks, these last ones being excluded from the
BOR heat balance. A tank-by-tank approach is then applied to evaluate the global BOR.
Procedure
Loading
There is no additional requirement for this first stage compared to the ones described in Appendix 1. All the
cargo tanks are loaded at their standard filling.
Laden voyage
All the events linked to the propulsion and affecting the heat balance are limited to one tank, this tank being
equipped with fuel pump.
Filling levels inside the cargo tanks have to be in accordance with the allowable filling ratios.
Unloading
Compared to conventional unloading, it is requested to measure individually the cargo composition for each of
the tanks.
BOR Evaluation
For all the tanks apart from the one dedicated to fuel matters, the BOR is calculated based on the formula
developed under § 3.
A sufficient number of voyages should be achieved to allow each tank to be tested ten times (this sequence
could be reduced as described in § 2 of this document).
For each cargo tank i, the BOR is averaged over the ni sequence measurements as follows:
ni

 BOR (Tk )
j1
j i

BOR (Tk i ) 

Then, the BOR in service of the whole vessel can be averaged, by weighting the BOR of each individual tank
by the corresponding average loaded cargo capacity V Li over the ni sequence measurements.
