LNG Bunker Barge Concepts

October 23, 2015

Jensen Maritime Consultants debuted a pair of LNG bunker barge concepts. The first concept involves outfitting an existing barge with an above-deck LNG tank. The concept can be further modified to accommodate more than one type of product, if a customer has a need for multiple liquid transfers. Design advantages  include a fast turnaround and a reduced need to invest in specialized assets if a customer has short-term LNG requirements. The second concept is for a purpose-built, new bunker barge. Offering greater carrying capacity and improved visibility, the design features a larger LNG tank that is nestled inside of the barge. This new barge will also feature the latest safety features and efficiencies. As the maritime industry continues to evaluate the pros and cons of switching to LNG or dual fuel options, bunker barges offer a solution for the maritime industry, which is currently struggling with the decision over which to develop first – LNG infrastructure or vessels. These barges are a resource for those who have LNG needs at ports not located near an LNG terminal or as an alternative to over-the-road transportation.
