Study on Classification of Hazardous Area for Inland River LNG Fuel-Powered Bulk Carrier
Based on a certain type of LNG single fuel-powered bulk carrier and according to the characteristics of inland river bulk carriers and the technical features of LNG fuel-powered vessels,this paper analyzes the influence of the hazardous area classification of LNG fuel-powered vessels on the design of inland river bulk carriers.According to the requirements of China Classification Society(CCS)"Rules for the Natural Gas Fuelled Ships",recommendations related to the general hull arrangement,electrical equipment selection and piping arrangement for double walled tube ventilation of inland LNG-fueled bulk carriers are made.
