World biggest lng bunkering vessel

Based on its capacity, World’s biggest lng bunkering vessel HAI YANG SHI YOU 301 successfully completes its first ship to ship bunkering supply to CMA CGM’s duel fuel container ship CMA CGM Concorde at Yantian Port, Shenzhen, the first domestic LNG ship-to-ship bunkering system jointly developed by CSSC and CNOOC Energy Development Co., strengthening the domestic production capability of Chinese Marine LNG industry chain.

World’s biggest and China’s first LNG bunkering vessel reconstructed by CSSC, the new systems of HAI YANG SHI YOU 301 include LNG refueling system, gas combustion devices, cryogenic units, mooring winch, crane and liquid cargo control system. the vessel can be used for both – LNG for power and for refueling other LNG vessels, with the efforts of many CSSC subsidiaries, the first local applications of many technologies and equipment are realized.

Further, the bunkering vessel system consists of emergency release devices, quick connection devices, cryogenic hoses, ship distance detection devices, saddles and anti-fall systems, etc., With a designed bunkering capacity of 1650m³ per hour, it can enable safe and rapid LNG filling between ships.
