LNG STS Bunkering - Transfer Time
Ship-to-ship LNG bunker transfer time given bunker volume and max pump rate - basis for operational planning and WTW compliance analytics.
Pumping time
200min
Total operation
4.83h
Formula, assumptions, and limits
Connect/purge/ESD test takes 60–120 min. LNGc parallel-bunker rate up to 8 000 m³/h for commercial LNGC cargo transfer. Small-scale bunkering limited by hose/arm size (typically 200–1 200 m³/h).
