K-IMS LNG Aging

K-IMS application suite for calculating LNG cargo aging and composition, boil-off and mixing, with online prediction from live vessel data and offline validator, mix, volume correction and prediction tools.

Description

K-IMS LNG Aging is an application suite on Kongsberg Maritime's Information Management System (K-IMS) for calculating and analysing LNG cargo composition. Operators and traders can assess the effects of options such as changing speed, with respect to LNG aging and boil-off rate, or rerouting vessels to other terminals while meeting composition requirements.

Modules

  • Online – LNG Aging Prediction: uses live vessel data to show current and predicted LNG compositions for selected dates, with summary or individual tank views
  • Offline – LNG Aging Validator: validates N2 and CH4 time constants and boil-off rate against expectations using loading/unloading data
  • Offline – LNG Mix: calculates composition after mixing two cargo portions, e.g. remaining heel with a new loading
  • Offline – LNG Volume Correction: calculates cargo changes as temperature changes
  • Offline – LNG Aging Prediction: predicts composition aging to support decisions on reallocating cargo to other terminals

Standards

  • ISO 6976 for gross calorific value calculations
  • ISO 6578 for density calculations

Benefits

  • Faster calculations when changing cargo destinations
  • Prediction of cargo quality against receiving terminal requirements
  • Validation of cargo aging against expected vessel performance
