About the LNG Module

LNG Workflow

With the LNG module, you can follow the standard IMOS workflow with some modifications:

Setup

In the Data Center, set up LNG-specific IMOS records.

1. In the Vessel form, create a vessel of Type code L (LNG Carrier); an LNG tab appears.

   • A Fuel Warranty Table column appears on the Vessel Types form.

   • You can include Bunker Curve Parameters in the calculation of fuel consumption for LNG Carriers.

2. Create the Cargo Name and Fuel/Lube Type, LNG.

Chartering

In Chartering, do any of the following:

• Manage LNG contracts.

  • If a vessel's Fuel Warranty Table is other than None, in TC In and TC Out contracts, record parameters related to vessel performance warranties in a Warranty tab.

• Create LNG Voyage Estimates.

  • Specify Fuel Consumption Mode for each LNG voyage leg.

  • On the LNG detail tab of the Bunker Planning form:

    • For **OV Estimates only, enter Max Lift and Max Discharge.

    • You can back-calculate the optimal discharge quantity based on heel.

Operations

In Operations, manage LNG voyages.

• On the Operations tab of the Voyage Manager, specify Fuel Consumption Mode for each LNG voyage leg.

• In the Voyage Bunkers form, complete additional fields on the LNG detail tab.

• Automatically capture data from LNG voyage reports using Veslink.

Financials

In Financials, close LNG voyages.

Reporting

In the Report Designer, run performance reports to benchmark against vessel/Time Charter LNG consumption curves.
