LNG Podcast

In LNG Unlocked by AI, we set sail on a journey through the world of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and its transportation by sea. Join us as we explore the complexities of this vital energy source and its significance in the global energy landscape.

Our AI experts will delve deep into the intricacies of LNG, from its extraction and liquefaction process to its storage and regasification upon arrival at its destination. We'll also discuss the challenges and innovations associated with the maritime transport of LNG, including safety measures, infrastructure development, and environmental considerations.

Whether you're an energy industry professional, an environmentalist, a student or academic in energy studies or marine transportation, or simply a curious listener interested in energy sources and maritime logistics, this podcast is packed with valuable insights and knowledge.

So, hoist the anchor and join us on our LNG Voyage, a podcast that aims to educate and inform, while navigating the seas of natural gas.

60 Years of LNG Carriers -- From Boil‑Off Waste to Smart, Low‑Carbon Fleets

Title: 60 Years of LNG Carriers — From Boil‑Off Waste to Smart, Low‑Carbon Fleets

Description: Explore the 60‑year technological journey of LNG carriers in this episode. We trace how the industry turned boil‑off gas (BOG) from an operational nuisance into a valuable asset, and how ship design, propulsion and digital systems evolved — from steam‑driven Moss‑tank vessels to membrane containment, DFDE systems, MEGI and XDF two‑stroke engines, and modern re‑liquefaction and digital‑twin optimisation. Listen for clear explanations of sloshing and tank types (Moss vs membrane vs Type‑C), why BOG rates fell, how re‑liquefaction works, and the trade‑offs between MEGI and XDF engines (methane slip, CAPEX/OPEX, complexity). We also examine environmental drivers (CI, methane emissions), smart operations, and what these changes mean for crew roles and future fuels (ammonia, methanol, CCS readiness).

Key topics covered:

Boil‑off gas (BOG): history, economics and modern management

Tank containment: Moss spheres vs membrane systems vs Type‑C

Propulsion evolution: steam → DFDE → two‑stroke dual‑fuel (MEGI vs XDF)

Re‑liquefaction systems and reducing parasitic load

Trends in BOG rates and cargo volumetric efficiency

Digital twins, smart operations and real‑time optimisation

Regulatory drivers: Carbon Intensity (CI) and methane emissions

Fleet types: Q‑Flex/Q‑Max, FSRU/FSU, small carriers and bunkering vessels

Future outlook: 2030–2035 ship concepts, hybrid electric integration, alternative fuels and crew skill shifts

Why listen:

Concise chronological narrative: foundational, consolidation, transition and modern eras

Practical trade‑offs explained: capacity vs safety vs efficiency

Actionable insights for shipowners, operators, maritime engineers and energy analysts

Engaging examples and clear definitions for non‑technical listeners
