Maximizing LNG Voyage Efficiency with Nautilus Labs' Boil-off Gas Solutions

Understanding the Challenges of LNGC Systems and Boil-off Gas Management

The management of boil-off gas in LNG Carriers (LNGC) is a complex process due to the intricate relationships between cargo aging, consumption, and reliquefaction systems. Predicting the impact of these interrelated systems on cargo condition during voyages can be challenging, hindering accurate performance measurement and tracking. Operations and Technical teams face the task of balancing various factors like shaft speed, reliquefaction rate, fuel mode, and Gas Combustion Unit (GCU) to effectively manage boil-off gas. This becomes even more complex when trying to minimize LNG consumption while meeting specific Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) and terminal requirements. Suboptimal boil-off gas management can lead to significant financial losses with thousands of dollars in lost LNG cargo per voyage.

Nautilus Labs' Boil-off Gas Management Solutions

Nautilus Labs offers innovative solutions to tackle the challenges associated with boil-off gas management in LNGC voyages. Their Boil-off Gas Simulator provides users with the ability to simulate LNGC voyages accurately by modeling changes in cargo composition, temperature, and pressure throughout the journey. The simulations leverage predicted speed and consumption, reliquefaction performance, and weather forecasts to optimize voyages. By suggesting optimal operational setpoints and providing decision-making support through detailed simulated voyage outcomes, Nautilus Labs empowers users to make informed decisions that enhance voyage efficiency and economics.

Empowering Predictive Insight with BOG Simulation

Nautilus Labs' BOG Simulation tool facilitates data-driven decision-making for key voyage planning, assessment, and approval decisions. It allows Charterer and Owner Operations teams to simulate vessel performance and voyage outcomes, providing essential data to enhance operational decisions that maximize efficiency. By removing guesswork from voyage planning, the simulation results offer detailed reports on consumption breakdowns, cargo condition forecasts, reliquefaction performance predictions, and Speed Over Ground (SOG) / ETA predictions, enabling stakeholders to make proactive choices to optimize performance.

Prescribing Best Operation with BOG Optimization

BOG Optimization by Nautilus Labs offers recommendations to vessels and operations teams to minimize LNG consumption while meeting voyage requirements. This tool suggests operational setpoints based on simulations of vessel performance in changing conditions, updated daily to reflect dynamic cargo and weather conditions. By optimizing for minimum LNG consumption while ensuring adherence to voyage outcome requirements, the BOG Optimization tool provides valuable insights on how to navigate voyages effectively and efficiently.

Hyper-Accurate Predictive Models with BOG Modeling

Nautilus Labs employs hyper-accurate condition models using standard industry chemical relationships, empirical data, and machine learning to simulate the impact of operational decisions and setpoints. These models predict reliquefaction rates, cargo pressure, gas and cargo temperature changes, and cargo composition variations with precision. The flexibility and accuracy of Nautilus' data-driven modeling approach allow for reliable predictions independent of specific vessel configurations, ensuring efficiency and crew empowerment.
