The Terms of Reference (Lloyd’s Register Consulting Document No: 50102448 TN01 Rev 00)
was circulated to team members prior to the HAZID to provide additional details of the HAZID
approach taken.
It should be noted that the risk ranking is only based on the assessment of risk to personnel
and that low severity consequences that could result in minor injury have been excluded from
the assessment. This approach helps to ensure that the study team only concentrate on
significant risks; which is considered to be an appropriate approach for a HAZID at this stage
of design.

3.5.4 Study Minutes
On completion of the HAZID the study minutes were spell checked and proof read. Changes
to spelling or grammar have not been specifically identified. The study minutes are shown in
Appendix A. It is recognised that it is important that the context of the minutes are not
changed during checking and a copy of the study minutes in unchecked format has been
retained and can be made available if required.
3.5.5 Main HAZID Issues
The main issues identified during the HAZID are as follows:
Failure of the pressure control valve 5150NG – Could lead to the gas supply to the
engines which can lead to surges of gas or slightly high pressure to the downstream
system, possibly up to 10 barg to PCV5182NG. This can lead to damage to the
downstream system, possibly up to the engine inlet as it is not rated for 10 barg. Also,
failure of this PCV can lead to release of Natural gas onto the engine.
Gas Supply Control system failure - Control system failure can lead to pressure control
valves being too far open. This can lead to over pressurization of the downstream gas
systems and subsequent release of natural gas
Lesser concerns identified during the HAZID, which could be improved:
Overfilling of the LNG tank – an overfill of the tank due to human error, bunkering or level
instrumentation failure can lead to possible over pressurization of the tank leading to
failure if the bunkering pressure is high.
Single fatality or
multiple major B 3 3 1 MEDIUM
injuries
Prior to considering possible improvements two scenarios had risks rated as ‘high’. This
reflects a degree of concern in the design and these concerns have been summarised as the
‘Main HAZID Issues’ detailed previously. The majority of ratings (18) are in the ‘Medium’ risk
category with seven in the ‘Low’ category. This reflects the fact that a HAZID at this stage of
design with a relatively short duration study will primarily identify the most significant hazards.
It should be noted that as the project is at an early stage, risk ranking is difficult, particularly
where there are uncertainties in design.
3.5.8 Overall HAZID Assumptions
A number of overall assumptions are generally made as part of the basis for a HAZID of this
type, these are:
Personnel involved with operation and maintenance of the LNG fuel system will be
competent. It is therefore important that personnel have been trained in the use and
maintenance of any new equipment.
Safety systems will be designed to achieve an appropriate level of reliability. This
includes any shutdown system or process alarm.
Personnel will respond to alarms in sufficient time and will take appropriate action.
Throughout the study it was assumed that any releases of LNG could find an ignition
source and be ignited. The consequences of ignition could result in a number of
outcomes, such as a pool fire, jet fire, or explosion. These outcomes are described in the
ToR. As the outcome will depend upon a number of factors such as release size,
location, ventilation and duration before ignition, it is not possible in a study of this nature
to assess all possible outcomes. The overall assumption has been made that releases
could result in a fire or explosion and the severity category of release has been based on
the team’s judgement.
Rules, standards, codes and legislation for marine systems will apply where applicable.
While a detailed review of applicable rules, standards, codes and legislation was not
undertaken as part of the study it was recognised that these are relevant. Where
relevant, reference was made to standards and codes during the meeting.
Failure of the pressure control valve 5150NG – Could lead to the gas supply to the
engines which can lead to surges of gas or slightly high pressure to the downstream
system, possibly up to 10 barg to PCV5182NG. This can lead to damage to the
downstream system, possibly up to the engine inlet as it is not rated for 10 barg. Also,
failure of this PCV can lead to release of Natural gas onto the engine hence causing
possible damage to the engine.
Gas Supply Control system failure - Control system failure can lead to pressure control
valves being too far open. This can lead to over pressurization of the downstream gas
systems, possibly up to the engine inlet as it is not rated for 10 barg.
Twenty Seven items for further consideration have been identified. The responses to these
items along with details of potential failure scenarios and safeguards identified in the study will
further improve the design from a safety risk perspective.
Methodology
Methodology:
Scope: To identify hazards associated with the design, operation and bunkering of the Argos LNG fuel system

1. Introduction
Argos is the largest independent player (not listed on the stock exchange or state affiliated) in the
Western European downstream oil market, combining storage and distribution with the international
trade in and sale of mineral oils and biofuels.
2. Strategy
To further expanding its current activities, in scale as well as geographically, Argos will focus on a
wider spectrum of low-emission energy products with safety, sustainability and environment getting
high priority at all times. These could also include activities that at first sight do not fit within the
current portfolio.
2.1 Vision
this will change in the near further regarding SECA area regulations for the see going vessels
national and internal stringent environment regulations for propulsion engines used for
vessels in inland waterways
economic drivers to use other type of bunker fuel
For the above criteria, LNG as bunker fuel can satisfy our customers to comply with dear needs.
2.2 Mission
Argos acts upon the changing demand for alternative energy sources by introducing the first LNG
bunkering vessel in 2015. Suitable to provide LNG as a fuel to inland shipping and see going vessels.
For operational and economic reasons, we made the decision to design an combined gasoil/LNG
bunker ship. Because in “one call” from our customers we can provide gasoil and LNG as bunker fuel.
It‘s the extra services we can give.
3
3. Gasoil/LNG bunker ship project
The work area of this ship is mainly in ARA (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp) ports. This means that
the movability of this ship should be perfect to handle.
3.1 Design
The ship is designed with an extra (“Schelde huid”) double side construction to protect the ship for
external impact.
The maximum movability of this ship will be handled by, 2 L drives (650 kW each) in the after ship
and 1channel bow thruster (500 kW). ĞƚĂŝůĚĞƐĐƌŝƉƚŝŽŶĂŶĚĚƌĂǁŝŶŐƐŽĨƚŚĞ>E'ƉƌŽƉƵůƐŝŽŶƐLJƐƚĞŵ

As Argos Bunkering organization we have a lot of expertise in the World of bunkering regarding
operational, and environment regulations on the inland waterways including management skills at
our office in Rotterdam to operate the bunker fleet in a safe way. We will use those expertise in our
project. We will use similar systems, nautical technical equipment, cargo pumps e.g.
We will use for the LNG cargos tanks, GTT membrane technology to optimal the volume of the LNG
tanks in relation with the deign of the ship. With redundant Boill off Gas installations the LNG shall be
conditioned. For LNG bunkering, we will use Lloyds Register LNG hoses. Depending on the
size of the ship of our customer, we shall use our bunker arm to make a safe connection with
a double isolated LNG hose.
4
3.2.3 LNG propulsion
The main reasons to use LNG for propulsion for this ship are:
Environment benefits
The economics are positive in relation to use gasoil
Strategic choice, what we sell , we use also for our purpose
To get experience in the LNG marked
The design of our LNG propulsion system is similar of the other inland waterway projects the
company Cryonom Projects designed. The expertise of other projects is used for our project. The
main different is, we will use a smaller LNG propulsion tank. We will bunker ourselves from the LNG
cargo tanks. The power management of the ship will be handled by 3 x MWM gas engines of
400 ekW. Installed in the front engine room. For back-up we will use a Caterpillar diesel of 450 ekW,
installed in the after engine room.
We are member of the European LNG master plan project, this also creates obligations. As member
of the several workings groups we have the opportunity to facilitate students and teacher/ trainers
on the ship in a separate training room to transferring knowledge and see in practice the operational
activities on the ship regarding LNG bunkering e.g.
In cooperation with STC bv. (Shipping and Transport College) also member of the European LNG
master plan we will develop a practical LNG bunkering training for our crew and also available for
other crew members out site our organization.
The main purpose of the courses is to familiarize the crew of inland waterway vessels with the
properties and hazards of LNG and to get knowledge how to work with LNG as fuel onboard the
vessel. For instance in case of bunkering and maintenance.
The course will include a theoretical part, consisting of the main LNG topics and a practical training
on board of the vessel in which the theoretical items will be dealt with in practice.

1. Purpose
To fill the LNG holding tank(s) in a safe way, the following procedures should be followed closely:
2. General
Only class approved LNG bunker ship suppliers are allowed to perform ship to ship bunkering in the
ports.
Before the vessel’s LNG storage tanks can be filled on a certain place, (local) authorities should be
informed. These authorities could demand for extra safety precautions. The authority’s approval for
the bunker transfer must be available before bunkering is started.
3. Crew competence
Crew on board of an inland LNG bunker vessels shall be qualified according to:
ADN requirements applicable for gas carriers
followed a general LNG training (theoretical)
followed specific LNG bunker training (theoretical)
followed the LNG bunker training on our LNG bunker ship (practical)

As a general principle, the LNG bunker ship has to provide the communication equipment
(radio) to the receiving ship.
A dedicated working channel for communication has to be agreed upon and duly tested prior
to the transfer operation.
The ESD link between the ships (SIGTTO system for sea going vessels) is available.
The bunker vessel’s emergency plan including the emergency signals have to be
communicated to the receiving vessel prior to the transfer operation.
3
4.2 Connection
The LNG transfer line connection system has to be equipped with a dry disconnect coupling.
LNG hoses have to be adequately supported to prevent contact with sharp edges and
freezing to surfaces.
The ESD link between the ships (SIGTTO system for sea going vessels) is in place.
5. Pre Bunkering
All accommodation openings in the LNG bunker area on the receiving ship shall be closed during
transfer. Unauthorized personnel transit through the safety zone is not allowed during bunkering
unless in case of emergency.
The bunker transfer checklist (see appendix A and B) is a mutual document with steps to be made by
the supplier and the receiver, and signed by authorized persons to confirm that all points are
addressed. The LNG bunker supplier is responsible for the checklist to be properly filled in and signed
before delivery to the receiving ship. The receiving ship’s Master or the appointed responsible will
accept the checklist and issue the order to proceed. The checklist is to be further filled out and signed
by the receiving vessel’s responsible, and returned to the bunker operator before starting any
transfer.
5.2 Line–up
The line-up procedure is to be sure that there is a no nitrogen left in the LNG bunker hose. This
means that the LNG bunker hose will connected to the LNG bunker pole on the LNG bunker ship. LNG
bunker pole is connected to the LNG gas propulsion system. A minimum of LNG will be pumped
trough the LNG bunker hose. When the temperature is below zero and no nitrogen is measured this
procedure is finessed.
4
6. Bunkering
The bunkering area is an EX-classified and restricted area during bunkering. Only authorized
personnel are allowed in the safety zone during bunkering. This is to be adequately supervised by the
receiving vessel’s responsible and the LNG bunker ship supplier.
The LNG cargo pumps shall be ramped down to an agreed topping up rate when the total transfer
amount is almost reached. The final filling requires special attention on the receiving ship to watch
the tank level and pressure. When the valves are confirmed to be lined up and the personnel are
confirmed to be outside the safety zone, the bunker operator and the receiving ship’s engineers
confirm that they are ready to commence bunkering by giving a ready signal via the agreed
communication link (VHF or other).
ESD system
Manual ESD will be used to prevent dangerous situations
Manual ESD will also be used when there are unforeseen operational actions
The ESD system will automatically stop the bunkering sequence at a maximum liquid level in
the fuel tanks.
7. After- Bunkering
Inerting with nitrogen, is performed in order to remove LNG in the bunker hose. The supplier of the
LNG shall make sure nitrogen is available. Nitrogen systems have to be checked prior to inerting. The
inerting sequence has to be adequately controlled and monitored.
The temperature of the LNG hose, give the status of inerting.
7.2 Documents
The LNG supplier is to deliver a document, clearly stating the quantity and quality of fuel
transferred, signed by both parties. The undersigned bunker check list stay at the LNG bunker
ship and will be archived (available for the port/local authorities).

1 INTRODUCTION .............................................................................................................. 1
4 CONCLUSION ................................................................................................................. 6
On request of Argos Bunkering B.V. (Argos), Det Norske Veritas (DNVGL) has performed a third party
verification of the HAZID-study that was performed on April 15th and 16th, 2014 in Capelle aan den IJssel.
The objective of the verification was to evaluate the preparation, execution and reporting of the study.
As part of the verification the study sessions have been attended by DNVGL (observer), furthermore the
following subjects have been reviewed:
Study scope and objective;
Study documents;
Applied methodology;
Selection of study nodes;
Study team composition;
Level of detail of the discussions;
Content and quality of study report.
In forelying report the results of the verification and the observations during the study sessions are
summarized.
Observations
The ToR contains the information that is required for the study participants to familiarise themselves
with the study objective, methodology and subject.
The ToR includes a description of the scope of the study (LNG fuel system), the following operating
modes are specifically mentioned:
- Normal operation;
- Start-up;
- Normal shutdown;
- Emergency shutdown.
A brief description of the LNG fuel system is given and reference is made to the main (engineering)
documents.
Observations
From the description in the ToR it is concluded that the main study objective was to identify and discuss
loss of containment events and safety risks. The objective to identify causes, consequences, safeguards
and recommendations for improvement provides the basis for proper hazard identification and risk
evaluation. The study objective is similar to the objective of HAZID studies that are performed in other
industry sectors, although the identification of environmental risks and financial risks (e.g. availability) is
not included. Note: loss of containment is one of the direct causes for environmental and financial risks.
The scope of the study (LNG fuel system) is clearly indicated in the ToR, reference is made to the main
(engineering) documents. Since most study participants were involved in the project and familiar with
the development of the LNG fuel system the brief description of the system is considered sufficient.
Observations
The documents were sent to the study participants for familiarisation and preparation for the study. Most
participants were involved in the development of (a part of) the LNG fuel system and sufficient time was
available for other participants to prepare themselves.
Observations
The selected methodology is commonly used in various industry sectors for identification of hazards and
risks in early project stages. The HAZID prompts are selected taking the characteristics of LNG and the
design of the LNG fuel system into account.
The description of the methodology and selected subjects (HAZID prompts) in the ToR gives sufficient
information for the study participants.
Observations
The risk matrix is proposed by Lloyd’s Register Consulting and has been accepted by Argos prior to the
study sessions. The risk matrix is similar to other matrices that are used in the industry for HAZID
studies, for detailed risk identification studies (such as HAZOP) usually more detailed matrices are used.
In accordance with the objective of the study the matrix includes a scale for safety consequences only.
Observations
The LNG fuel system is split into study sections taking into account the complexity, size and function of
the system. The resulting four sections provide a proper basis for a complete and thorough study. During
the study it was decided to add a 5th section: “Engine room ventilation system”.
Observations
Representatives from the companies involved in the design and the assessment of the fuel system were
invited for the study. In the HAZID-report a detailed overview of the expertise and experience of the
team members is given. Sufficient knowledge and experience with respect to design, operation and
approval of gasoil/LNG fuel systems and associated systems was available during the sessions.
Observations
The contents and level of detail of the report are similar to HAZID-reports that are produced in other
industry sectors. The report contains the required information for future reference and for further
development of the fuel system design.
3.1 Introduction
To verify the results of the document review and to evaluate the application of the methodology DNVGL
has attended the study sessions that were held on April 15th and 16th, 2014 in Capelle aan den IJssel.
DNVGL was present on April 15th and the morning session of April 16th.
3.2 Observations
In this paragraph a summary is given of the findings and observations of DNVGL.
- The meeting place for the sessions provided sufficient space for the team members. The tables were
set up in U-form which assured that all team members had a clear view on the projector screen.
Enough table space was available for team members to lay out drawings and other documentation.
- Specific software for hazard and risk identification studies was used for recording the discussions
during the sessions. The study sections and the list with subjects (HAZID prompts), as identified
during the preparation for the study, were incorporated in the software.
- Real-time recording and projecting the log sheets on a screen allowed the team members to
comment on the content and wording of the identified scenarios.
- Full reporting was used, this means that all discussed topics are recorded, even those that the team
considered less relevant for safety (“No causes identified”, “No consequences identified”).
- Representatives from the companies involved in the design and the assessment of the fuel system
were included in the study team. In addition to the persons mentioned in the ToR additional team
members were present during the sessions.
- Each participant was provided with hard copies of drawings and other relevant documentation. The
HAZID sections were clearly indicated on the Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (colour coded).
- At the beginning of the first session an explanation of the background of the development of the LNG
fuel system was given by Argos.
- The HAZID methodology, the objective and the study approach were explained by the study leader.
- Prior to the discussion/analysis of each study section an explanation on the design and operation of
the section was given. During the study it was decided to add a 5th section: “Engine room ventilation
system”, detailed information for this system was not available during the session.
- During the sessions explanations and clarifications on the design of the fuel system were given (Argos,
Cryonorm, MWM Benelux, Windex, …).
- Sufficient time was available for (detailed) discussions during the sessions. Where appropriate, team
members participated in the discussions.
- Based on the discussions and questions that were raised during the sessions, the list with HAZID
prompts (discussion subjects) was adapted. For example, the subject ‘Water’ was added to make sure
that issues with respect to the possible presence of water were properly discussed and analysed.
- Although the main objective of the study was identification of hazards, consequences and existing
safeguarding measures, the participants were occasionally allowed to discuss solutions and other
improvements in detail (‘engineering discussions’).
- At appropriate intervals breaks were held.
