HighlightsSystems engineering is used to study economics and safety of LNG-fuelled fishing vessels.This approach can assist ship owners in decision-making and trade-off analyses.Naval architects may manage the relevant information and regulations.Crew may improve their understanding of the safety rationale.Combining this approach and bowtie analysis clarifies potential accident scenarios.
AbstractAir emissions from fishing vessels must be reduced to comply with progressively stringent environmental regulations. Among the available solutions, liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel may represent a promising solution, particularly from an environmental perspective. However, the use of LNG as a marine fuel creates different types of hazards than those that exist for traditional fuels. In addition, the increased complexity, safety requirements, and space required for LNG installation increase the capital cost. This article uses a systems engineering approach to clarify the technical aspects of LNG-fuelled systems, their potential implementation costs, and the expertise and training required to operate them safely. Ship owners can use such an approach to aid decision-making and trade-off analyses. Naval architects may also benefit from better information management. Finally, crews may better understand the logic behind the safety actions they are instructed to take.
