German shipowner Schulte Group has presented its next-generation design for an LNG bunker vessel (LBV) at Gastech Exhibition and Conference in Milan.

The design removes the need for fenders and spacer pontoons, which take time and manpower to manually deploy, replacing them with an integrated outrigging system that is compatible with any vessel type and can be operational in five minutes. It has a telescopic crane, which extends over 40m over the water and can be adjusted to any required reach. The vessel fits with all known and soon-to-come LNG-fuelled vessels. It also features warming-up, gas freeing and aeration equipment to prepare LNG-fuelled vessels for drydock, and flexible design options so that the LBV can be tailored to specific requirements. The bunker vessel can be operated by a smaller crew whilst still ensuring high safety standards.
