LNG BUNKERING SOLUTIONS
LOCATION KANON LOADING EQUIPMENT B.V.
COMPANY • Since 1979 • Focus on continuous improvement • Safety, reliability, convenience • Market leader in terms of numbers of marine
loading arms sold, 120 - 180 MLA’s per year • Successfactors: Highest quality against competitive price Responsiveness and flexibility Continuous focus on safety for environment and operators with convenient operation • Convenient , one-man operation
No. 1 in Marine Loading Arms
LNG BUNKERING ISSUES • Emission regulations call for LNG-powered ships
• Supply / logistics from source to bunker spot
• Prices LNG versus conventional fuels
• Customer acceptance; adjustments of engines etc
• Safety issues:
• Is LNG dangerous • Is the bunkering equipment safe • What about emergency disconnection

LNG BUNKERING APPROACH (I/II) • Fully rigid bunker arms are most reliable and safe
but have limited and inflexible reach => the same principle as bulk LNG transfer with 4 off 16” MLA’s
• Bunker hoses are most flexible but are not durable and have suboptimal possibilities for emergency release
• Conventional method using rigid boom and flexible hose in one structure combines advantages of both
• Using bunker vessel significanly increases the efficiency as bunkering is performed during cargo load / unload
LNG BUNKERING APPROACH (II/II) • Conventional method consist of rigid boom with
hose with advantages: • Emergency release provisions are at the boom
side not the ships deck • Hoses are relatively short and can easily be
replaced by another diameter • Emergency release control system based on
marine loading arm practise • Maximum practical safety, durance and
flexibility
