GTT of France informed that together with its partner Cryovision it has installed the first sloshing monitoring system, SloShield onboard GasLog’s LNG carrier GasLog Singapore.
The SloShield solution monitors impacts caused by sloshing of the liquid cargo, the designer of LNG containment systems said in a statement.
As part of a cooperation agreement signed with the ship-owner GasLog, the LNG carrier GasLog Singapore is the first ship to be equipped with this system.
The cooperation agreement includes an initial phase of observation aimed at demonstrating the SloShield performance accompanied by crew training. In addition, based on further data provided by Gaslog, GTT’s teams will study the relationship between sloshing and the boil-off rate in the tanks, the company said.
This relationship between these two phenomena are highlighted key topic for ship-owners but have not previously been investigated in an in-depth study based on actual data, it added.
