Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016016647A1] An LNG bunker vessel having: one or more LNG tanks, a first pipeline able to transfer liquefied natural gas (LNG) from one or more of the LNG tanks on the LNG bunker vessel to one or more off-vessel LNG receiver tanks, one or more natural gas compressors on the LNG bunker vessel able to compress natural gas and provide compressed natural gas (CNG), a second pipeline able to transfer natural gas from the one or more off-vessel LNG receiver tanks to the one or more natural gas compressors on the LNG bunker vessel; and one or more CNG storage tank(s) on the LNG bunker vessel to store CNG provided by the one or more natural gas compressors as a fuel source. In this way, the apparatus and operation for transforming natural gas from the off- vessel LNG receiver tank(s) into a suitable fuel source as CNG is provided on the LNG bunker vessel, and does not require ancillary equipment and operation at the location or site of every off-vessel LNG receiver tank.
