Standard fo or a Liquefied Natural Gas ((LNG) Bunker Checklist: Tru uck to Ship

Foreworrd

The WP PCI (World Ports P Climate e Initiative) w working group of the IA APH (Internaational Assoc ciation of Ports an nd Harbors) has developed three listts for bunkerring with liquefied naturaal gas (LNG) (truck to ship, ship to ship or o ship to sh hore bunkeriing) for vess sels using liquefied natuural gas (LN NG) as a propulsio on fuel. Thesse lists are already a in use e in many se eaports, in particular Rottterdam and Antwerp. The CCN NR, given itss desire to sta andardise prractices to th he greatest extent possibble, and in pa artnership with the IAPH, has modified m the truck to ship p bunker che ecklist to tailor it to the R Rhine contex xt and its regulatio ons without amending a its structure, sp pirit and safe ety levels. Vessels navigating on o the Rhine e shall be sub bject to the requirements r s of the Rhinne Police Regulations (RPR), in particular article 15.07 7 (5))(b) and (6). They state that “be efore commeencing bunke ering with liquefied d natural gas (LNG), the master m of the e receiving sh hip shall be required r to eensure: [...] b)

tthat a liquefiied natural gas g (LNG) bu unker checkllist for vesse els bearing thhe identificattion mark rreferred to in article 2.0 06 in accorda ance with th he standard defined by the CCNR has h been ccompleted and signed by y himself, or by an individ dual acting on his behalf, and by the individual i rresponsible for the bunk kering facilityy and that th he answer to t all the quuestions on the t list is 'yes'. ” Irrelevant questio ons are to be e deleted. If not all the questions q cann be answerred in the a affirmative, bunkering shall s only b be authorised with the authorisatioon of the co ompetent a authority

The currrent standard d comprises a liq quefied natu ural gas (LNG G) bunker ch hecklist (truc ck to ship). It comprises 4 parts (A, B, C, D). The e completion n of part A is i voluntary, but recomm mended, com mpletion of parts B, C and D is obligatory. guid delines for he elping the us ser to comple ete the list. The currrent edition of o this standa ard can be do ownloaded frrom the CCN NR website (w www.ccr-zkrr.org) and is available in Germa an, French, Dutch D and En nglish. In the cu urrent edition n of the stand dard, referen ces to the Reg gulations for Rhine navigation person nnel (RPN) will w not be valid until 1st Auugust 2016 and a the Rhine Vessel In nspection Regulations (RV VIR) will not be valid until 1st Decembber 2016. This standard applie es to bunkerring with liqu uefied natura al gas (LNG G) as a fuel. It does not apply to loading lliquefied natu ural gas (LNG G) as a carg go.
