Overview

ISO/PRF 21154 is a forthcoming international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) under Technical Committee ISO/TC 8/SC 25, focusing on ships and marine technology. This document establishes the method for measuring the boil-off rate (BOR) in cargo containment systems (CCS) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships. The standard addresses principles, test conditions, equipment requirements, measurement processes, data gathering and analysis, and reporting protocols for boil-off-rate tests.

The scope covers LNG carriers, LNG floating storage and regasification units (FSRU), LNG bunkering vessels, and provides reference for the fuel containment systems of LNG-powered fuel ships. Accurate BOR measurement is crucial due to the unavoidable vaporization of LNG during transport, which directly impacts containment system efficiency and the economics of gas shipping.

Key Topics

  • BOR Definition: The standard defines boil-off rate as the percentage of cryogenic liquid lost as a result of natural evaporation within a 24-hour period at rated vapor pressure, relative to the total mass of cryogenic liquid at the rated filling level.

  • Measurement Principles: The method is based on tracking changes in the quantity of LNG over time, using a heat balance approach to determine total losses.

  • Parameters and Data Acquisition: Essential parameters to measure include:

    • LNG composition and density
    • Average temperatures of liquid and vapor inside the CCS
    • LNG volume and vapor pressure
    • Insulation system temperatures
    • Ambient air and seawater conditions
    • Voyage conditions (such as sea state and speed)
    • Operational status of relevant equipment (e.g., reliquefaction plants, heaters)
  • Equipment Requirements: The document specifies the use of accurate liquid level, temperature, and pressure measuring devices. Devices must provide automatic records, maintain specified accuracy tolerances, and be capable of handling the full range of operating conditions.

  • BOR Measurement Procedure:

    • Prescribes specific measurement intervals and phases: post-loading, during voyage, and pre-unloading
    • Details allowable environmental conditions such as wind speed (Beaufort scale), and voyage duration parameters for valid measurements
    • Defines data processing methods and reporting formats

Applications

  • Testing and Verification: Shipbuilders, owners, and operators use this standard to verify the performance of cargo containment systems in LNG transport vessels, ensuring compliance with safety and efficiency requirements.

  • Performance Optimization: Enables designers to evaluate and optimize tank insulation and support structures by providing reliable data on evaporation rates.

  • Economic Analysis: Since BOR affects cargo loss and thus transportation costs, standardized measurement enables accurate cost calculations and commercial assessments.

  • Regulatory Compliance and Environmental Monitoring: Supports alignment with global maritime regulations targeting greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions from ship operations by documenting actual fuel losses and emissions.

Related Standards

  • ISO 16903:2015 - Provides terms and definitions related to LNG systems, referenced for consistency in terminology.
  • IMO IGC Code - Sets design and construction requirements for ships carrying liquefied gases in bulk, including containment system standards.
  • ISO/IEC Directives - Regulations and guidance for development and maintenance of international standards.

ISO/PRF 21154 aligns with these and other relevant standards, ensuring harmonized practices for the measurement and management of LNG boil-off in marine transport.


By adopting ISO/PRF 21154, stakeholders in the marine LNG sector can improve containment system assessment, ensure regulatory compliance, and drive operational efficiency in LNG shipping.

Introduction
With the growing international demand for green fuels, LNG has gained widespread use due to its lower
CO emissions, high calorific value and cost-effectiveness. LNG ships, as an important transport equipment,
are increasingly in demand. Central to these vessels is the cargo containment system (CCS), the storage
unit for liquefied gas, which is usually composed of thermal insulation materials and support structures.
Due to the huge temperature difference between ultra-low temperature LNG (−163 °C) and the atmospheric
environment, boil-off is inevitable in the system. The boil-off-rate (BOR) is an important metric for assessing
CCS design quality: the lower the value of BOR, the more efficient and effective the CCS. For shipowners, BOR
also plays a role in calculating transportation costs. Therefore, reliable BOR testing method is essential for
verifying containment system performance at sea.
