Challenge

The LNG Bunker Tec loading arm is designed for ship-based operations, enabling LNG transfer between vessels. This ship-to-ship bunkering method offers high flexibility in terms of capacity and location, allowing for efficient LNG transfers.

 

However, due to the specific design and operational conditions of the JLA LNG Bunker Loading Arm, conducting a thorough inspection and repair was a complex task.

Scope of work

JLS is renowned for its expertise in service and repair of Marine, Train, and Truck Loading Arms, typically used in shore-based operations. However, the LNG Bunker Loading Arm is unique in that it is specifically intended for ship-to-ship bunkering.

 

The scope of this project involved a detailed assessment of the loading arm’s condition, which led to the transport of the loading arm to the production facility at Koggehaven for inspection.

 

A comprehensive damage report was created, and a recommended repair plan was provided to the client. After approval, JLS was tasked with sourcing the necessary high-quality spare parts, many of which required advance ordering due to longer delivery times. JLS is independent of specific brands, which allowed them to select the best parts for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the loading arm.

The Result

Preparations for the repair of the JLA LNG Bunker Loading Arm are in full swing. All necessary spare parts have been ordered, and assembly will commence upon their arrival. The assembly will take place at JLS’s production facilities in Koggehaven, with the J de Jonge harbor crane being utilized to ensure flexibility and efficiency.

 

This approach will streamline the entire process, providing significant economic benefits while ensuring a swift and efficient execution of the project.
