Since IMO has discussed the effectuation of the EEDI, EEOI and SEEMP, each country, shipping company, shipbuilding company and research institute have been requested to prepare the design, construction and operation of the efficient ship. From the shipbuilding company's point of view, it was necessary to develop a method based on the maneuvering equations of motion in a bid to estimate the EEOI considering the design, model test results and the calculation results of the ship. In this paper, the estimation method of RPM, power and fuel consumption proposed in the previous research was developed to construct a framework that helps in the estimation of the EEOI. It was possible to estimate the EEOI from the estimated ship speed (distance), LNG cargo mass, fuel consumptions and emission factors according to the type of fuel. The rapid increase of the evaluated EEOI was observed when the LNGC with ME-GI engine executing the course changed with a large difference. This prompted the comparison of the type of fuel on the estimated EEOI by considering HFO, LNG fuel and MGO properties.

It is envisaged that the effect of increasingly stricter air emissions legislation implemented through IMO Annex VI and other local air quality controls, together with favorable financial conditions for the use of natural gas instead of liquid fuel oil as a bunker fuel, will see an increasing number of DF engine and single gas fuel engine applications to LNG carriers and other vessel types. As part of provision for the current international movements in the shipping industry to reduce GHG emission in air, new design concepts using natural gas as an alternative fuel source for propulsion of large commercial vessels, have been developed by shipyards and research institutes. In this study, an explosion analysis for a gas supply machinery room of LNG-fuelled container ship is presented. The gas fuel concept is employed for the high pressure ME-GI where a leakage in the natural gas double supply pipe to the engines is the subject of the present analysis. The consequences of a leak are simulated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to predict typical leak scenarios, gas cloud sizes and possible explosion pressures. In addition, capacity of the structure which is subject to explosion loads has been assessed.

본 연구는 가스추진 174K급 LNG 운반선의 가스 압축기실에서 발생하는 가스누출 모사를 통해 가스탐지기의 최적 위치를 분석하였으며, 새로 개정된 IGC 코드에 명시된 안전규정을 만족하는 합리적인 방법도 함께 제안하였다. 가스압축기실에서의 LNG 가스누출 수치해석을 위해, 실제 ME-GI 엔진이 장착된 174K급 LNG 운반선의 압축기실 형상과 장비, 배관의 배치와 같은 치수로 3D 설계되었다. 가스누설에 대한 시나리오는 305 bar의 높은 압력과 1 bar의 낮은 압력을 적용하여 진행하였다. 고압용 핀홀의 크기는 4.5, 5.0, 5.6 mm이고 저압용은 100, 140 mm이다. 해석 결과, 5.6 mm 핀홀(고압)과 100, 140 mm 핀홀(저압) 상태의 누출에 대한 환기평가에서 가연성 가스농도는 심각한 위험이 없음을 확인하였다. 그러나 개정된 IGC 코드에 따라 설치된 압축기실의 가스 감지 센서의 실제 위치는 다른 지점으로 이동해야 하고, 측정 지점이 현 규정에서 요구하는 것보다 더 추가되어야 함을 확인하였다.
