The design and development of a real-time navigation safety monitoring system for LNG-fuelled ship in inland water

With the implementation of “Gasification Yangtze River” strategy, as an economic, clean and safe energy, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being gradually used in the inland vessels. However, as a special kind of hazardous substance, the risk of LNG application is Lack of effective assessment. As to ensure this kind of energy can be safety used by LNG fuelled ship in inland water, a set of on-line navigation safety monitoring system for LNG fuelled ship was developed, combining an update Automatic Identification System (AIS) device, some sensors and a software monitoring platform. It strengthens the risk control capacity by making alarm and enabling the management authority effective supervision at emergency situation.
