Korean Register (KR) has granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) for an LNG <\/p>\n

Boil-off Gas (BOG) Treatment System jointly developed by HD Hyundai Heavy <\/p>\n

Industries (HD HHI) and Donghwa Pneutec.<\/p>\n

\"KR<\/p>\n

The AiP, awarded in cooperation with the Liberian Registry (LISCR), is <\/p>\n

based on a concept proposed by HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering <\/p>\n

(HD KSOE).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The newly developed BOG treatment system is designed for installation and <\/p>\n

operation both onboard vessels and along quays during berth. It can process up <\/p>\n

to 0.5 tonne of BOG per hour, converting it into city gas for onshore energy <\/p>\n

use.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This enables shipyards to recover BOG generated during vessel construction, <\/p>\n

reducing both GHG emissions and fuel losses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shipowners, in turn, can safely manage surplus gas during extended port <\/p>\n

stays or when Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) is required, ensuring compliance <\/p>\n

with stricter environmental regulations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The joint development project was completed through close cooperation <\/p>\n

between the shipyard, equipment manufacturer, classification society, and flag <\/p>\n

administration, building upon HD KSOE\u2019s concept design.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In June this year, the system was applied to an 8,000 TEU LNG dual-fuelled <\/p>\n

containership under construction, where it completed demonstration trials, <\/p>\n

verifying its performance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The system is a practical solution to reduce carbon emissions across the <\/p>\n

lifecycle of LNG dual-fuelled vessels and is expected to contribute <\/p>\n

significantly to the maritime industry\u2019s decarbonisation goals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An official from HD Hyundai said: \u201cThis AiP marks the world\u2019s first <\/p>\n

validation of LNG boil-off gas treatment technology, underscoring our commitment <\/p>\n

to advancing greener shipbuilding for LNG-fuelled vessels and driving <\/p>\n

decarbonisation across the maritime industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LEE Hyungchul, Chairman & CEO of KR, concluded: \u201cThis AiP marks a <\/p>\n

meaningful achievement in reducing GHG emissions from LNG-fuelled vessels, both <\/p>\n

during construction and while at berth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cKR will continue to work closely with industry partners to ensure the <\/p>\n

smooth commercialisation of new technologies and to drive a more sustainable <\/p>\n

maritime industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, KR and HD Hyundai Samho signed an MoU to jointly <\/p>\n

develop AI-driven solutions aimed at innovating ship design and analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
