Development of requirements for ships equipped to use liquefied petroleum gas as fuel
Abstract
The article substantiates the expediency of developing requirements for ships equipped to use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a fuel. In this regard, the physical and chemical properties of the propane-butane mixture have been considered, an analysis of the requirements for the use of LPG as a fuel for various types of transport has been carried out and data on existing ships using a propanebutane mixture as fuel have also been summarized. Diesel power plants have been considered in the context of their operation on LPG, an analysis of the requirements of the rules of foreign qualification societies and IMO on the issue under study have been carried out. Ultimately, a new Section of Part XVII "Distinguishing Marks and Descriptive Notations in the Class Notation Specifying Structural and Operational Particulars of Ships" of the RS Rules has been developed.
