  • Wash primer was applied to cargo tank of Membrane-LNG Carrier (M-LNGC) for corrosion resistance and high bond-strength with the mastic. However, a lack of bond-strength verification at high thickness wash primer coating resulted in strict coating thickness control. Therefore wash primer was controlled below DFT(Dry Film Thickness) $30{\mu}m$. In order to develop the wash primer satisfying GTT (GAZ TRANSPORTAION TECHNIGAZ) standard even at high thickness, we evaluated coating properties such as wash primer/mastic bond-strength, corrosion resistance, as well as workability for the newly formulated wash primer materials. The newly formulated wash primer had high bonding-strength to mastic even at high thickness and had proper corrosion resistance and workability suitable to yard condition.

  • The motions and drift forces of side-by-side moored FSRU and LNGC including the sloshing effect, were studied using experiments. The FSRU and LNGC contained LNG cargo tanks and the LNG sloshing could affect the motions and drift forces of the structures due to its coupling with floating body motion. The effect of coupling can vary with the LNG filling level, and the effect of the filling level was investigated. The coupling effect was stronger at lower filling level. It was confirmed that longitudinal sloshing influenced the surge and surge mean drift force in head sea. In addition, gap flow affected the sway and mean drift forces. Sloshing attenuated the sway and yaw excited by gap flow in side-by-side configuration.

  • Polyurethane foam is the most efficient, high-performance insulation material, used for liquefied natural gas carrier (LNGC) insulation. Because LNGC is exposed to sloshing impact load due to ship motion of 6 degrees of freedom, polyurethane foam should be sufficient dynamic properties. The dynamic properties of these polyurethane foam depends on temperature and density. Therefore, this study investigates the dynamic response of polyurethane foam for various temperature($25^{\circ}C$, $-70^{\circ}C$, $-163^{\circ}C$) and density($90kg/m^3$, $113kg/m^3$, $134kg/m^3$, $150kg/m^3$) under drop impact test with impact energy of 20J, 50J, and 80J. For dynamic response was evaluated in terms of peak force, peak displacement, absorb energy, and the mechanical property with minimized density effects. The results show the effect of temperature and density on the polyurethane foam material for the dynamic response.

  • In this paper, Power Generator modeling for LNG ship has been performed and monitoring system has been developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The principal component of Power Generator are engine part(Diesel Engine, Turbine Engine) which provides the mechanical power and synchronous generator which convert the mechanical power into electrical power. Also, load sharing between paralleled generators has been performed to share a total load that exceeds the capacity of a single generator and designated ship lumped load simulations have been carried out. A validity of these systems has been verified by comparison between simulation results and estimated result from the designated lumped load.

  • Decisions of the design speed, MCR, and engine capacity have been empirically made by assuming the value termed the sea margin. Due to ambiguity regarding the effect of some factors on the sea margin, the value has been commonly decided based on experience. To evaluate the value from a new viewpoint, it is necessary to construct an approach to estimate the sea margin through an objective procedure based on a physical and mathematical model. In this paper, a framework to estimate the actual sea margin of an LNGC based on the maneuvering equations of motion is suggested by considering the hull, propeller, rudder, and given sea route under wind and waves. The fouling effect is additionally quantified as the increase of total resistance by considering the re-docking period. The operation data is reviewed to amend the increase of the total resistance considering the speed loss of a ship. Finally, the factor of how much the resistance increases due to fouling is newly obtained for the vessel. Based on the comparison of the estimated sea margin with the empirical range of the sea margin, the constructed framework is regarded as feasible.

  • During the loading/offloading operation of a liquefied natural gas carrier (LNGC) that is moored in a side-by-side configuration with an offshore plant, sloshing that occurs due to the partially filled LNG tank and the interactive effect between the two floating bodies are important factors that affect safety and operability. Therefore, a time-domain software program, called CHARM3D, was developed to consider the interactions between sloshing and the motion of a floating body, as well as the interactions between multiple bodies using the potential-viscous hybrid method. For the simulation of a floating body in the time domain, hydrodynamic coefficients and wave forces were calculated in the frequency domain using the 3D radiation/diffraction panel program based on potential theory. The calculated values were used for the simulation of a floating body in the time domain by convolution integrals. The liquid sloshing in the inner tanks is solved by the 3D-FDM Navier-Stokes solver that includes the consideration of free-surface non-linearity through the SURF scheme. The computed sloshing forces and moments were fed into the time integration of the ship's motion, and the updated motion was, in turn, used as the excitation force for liquid sloshing, which is repeated for the ensuing time steps. For comparison, a sloshing motion coupled analysis program based on linear potential theory in the frequency domain was developed. The computer programs that were developed were applied to the side-by-side offloading operation between the offshore plant and the LNGC. The frequency-domain results reproduced the coupling effects qualitatively, but, in general, the peaks were over-predicted compared to experimental and time-domain results. The interactive effects between the sloshing liquid and the motion of the vessel can be intensified further in the case of multiple floating bodies.
