Measurement Instrumentation for LNG Tankers and Carriers

Ensure Safe, Efficient, and Compliant LNG Transportation

LNG carriers use specialized containment systems made of 9% nickel steel alloy and advanced insulating materials to safely withstand the extremely low temperatures of liquefied natural gas (LNG). To maintain temperature stability, a small amount of LNG is allowed to ‘boil off,’ which is then captured and used as fuel for the vessel. Accurate monitoring of boil-off gas, fuel consumption, temperature, level, and pressure is essential to safeguard cargo integrity, maximize fuel efficiency, and meet strict safety and environmental standards, as well as custody transfer logs. Emerson’s robust instrumentation solutions are designed to perform reliably in the challenging marine environment, supporting safe and efficient LNG transportation.
