Gastech: Unprecedented Opportunities in LNG Shipping
[mappress]Source: Gastech, March 25, 2014 Delegates to Gastech 2014 were told that there were enormous growth opportunities with the development of new technology and improved safety measures. "Today's growth is completely unprecedented," said Andrew Clifton, General Manager for the Society for International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators. "We have more ships and terminals than ever before, and we currently have 400 vessels with over 100 more on order," he said. "Within 3 to 4 years, we'll have a fleet of over 500 LNG vessels in service. It's certainly worth mentioning that, as recently as 1997, there were only 100 vessels in service."Tamunoiyala Koko, Team Leader – Halifax for Lloyd's Register, presented his risk assessment for LNGC ships transiting through the Panama Canal after the Panama Canal expansion project, which will accommodate most of the world's LNG fleet and larger ships, and is expected to be completed in July 2015. "The HAZID project takes into account all credible scenarios and accidental evidence such as human error, mechanical failures, communications errors, extreme weather, and other possibilities," Koko said. These incidents can result in possible LNGC ship grounding, and collision with other passing ships, including large vessels. The study was carried out from February 28 to March 2, 2012, looking at up to 170,000 cubic meter capacity ships with an estimated 100 LNG vessel transiting through the Panama Canal each year once the expansion is completed. "All of the scenarios considered had at most a medium risk," he said. This risk is acceptable if sufficient controls are in place, according to the study. For 7 out of 11 medium risk hazards, no additional controls were necessary.KH Joh, Principal Engineer at Samsung Heavy Industries, introduced his company's new membrane-type cargo containment system for LNG tankers, which has received approval in principle and general design approval from classification societies. The new design includes a reinforced corrugated primary membrane and more robust secondary membranes made of stainless steel for improved containment system integrity. The structural capacity for the sloshing load is enhanced, reducing the cargo filling limit. The new system will "increase the transportation efficiency" and "improve operational flexibility" for LNG carriers and offshore floating vessels, Joh said.Choi DongKyu, Deputy Director and Head of the Energy System R&D Team at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, discussed MEGI propulsion for LNG carriers, calling it an attractive way for achieving high fuel efficiency. "The system minimizes the conversion loss since the MEGI engine directly drives the propeller without any energy conversion. Despite its higher fuel efficiency, the system does have a disadvantage, requiring high pressure for fuel gas," he said. Some amount of BOG must be left in the tank because of the low fuel consumption of MEGI consumption.Delegates who opened the Gastech 2014 technical stream conference on Tuesday morning paid their respects to Robert J. Lakey, Gastech's longest-serving chairman, who passed away this year. read more

Sara Bareilles & John Legend ready to bring "Jesus Christ Superstar Live" to TV Sunday night
Related Virginia Sherwood/NBC(NEW YORK) — Sunday night, pop star Sara Bareilles and R&B star John Legend star as Mary and Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, NBC's live production of the classic Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice musical. Performing a legendary musical live on TV might seem daunting, but for musicians like Sara and John, it's no big deal."I'm used to the idea of playing in front of an audience and that being it," John explains. "You don't get to go back and do another take, you don't get to rehearse it more…so I'm excited for the challenge of doing this show live.""It's electric and thrilling," adds Sara, who in addition to performing live concerts has also starred in the Broadway musical Waitress, which she co-wrote. She jumped at the chance to do this one."It was a no-brainer. I said yes within 30 seconds of being asked the question," Sara raves. "I love this project, I love this score, I love this moment in time to be doing this show on this day. I'm just thrilled."Jesus Christ Superstar follows Jesus in the last week of his life; Sara explains, "It's the betrayal, it's the crucifixion, it's his relationship with Mary Magdalene. It's a roller-coaster of emotion."It's that emotion, John says, that makes the show so impactful."We've seen Jesus as a deity for so long," he says. "And I think what's special about this show is that it talks about the human emotions that Jesus quite likely felt…the sense of betrayal, the sense of, 'Why was I chosen for this?'"As John notes, "The power of this show is that it imbues this deity with emotions that we can all relate to."Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert airs Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.Copyright © 2018, ABC Radio.
