Shipping & Operations

Operationally competent management of LNG shipping — from vessel transit and port approach through to cargo operations and terminal interface. Qualified LNG shipping operators and marine superintendents available for operational management, technical advisory, and personnel secondment.

Across the Shipping Chain

Vessel Transit

Route planning, voyage optimisation, and compliance monitoring during ocean passage. Includes weather routing and canal or strait transit coordination.

Port Approach

Pre-arrival communication with port authority, pilotage arrangements, and tug coordination. Compliance with ISPS, MARPOL, and local port regulations.

Berth Manoeuvring

Mooring operation oversight — including FSRU or jetty approach, line handling sequence, and gangway/hose connection readiness checks.

Cargo Operations

Cool-down, heel management, loading and unloading supervision, and ship-shore safety checklist compliance. Coordinated with terminal operators and FSRU crew.

BOG Handling

Boil-off gas management during laden and ballast voyages. Reliquefaction system or gas combustion unit operation as required by vessel specification.

Sendout Coordination

Interface with terminal control rooms on sendout rates, heel retention volumes, and inventory drawdown in line with downstream demand schedules.

Qualified Operators & Superintendents

GLSB deploys qualified LNG shipping operators and marine superintendents with hands-on experience across the cargo chain — from loading terminal operations through ocean passage to regasification terminal discharge.

Personnel are available for project-specific secondment, long-term operational roles, or capacity-building assignments within client teams.

  • LNG shipping operators — cargo system expertise, IGC Code compliance
  • Marine superintendents — vetting, drydock, and incident response
  • Terminal interface coordinators — sendout scheduling and inventory management

Fleet Management Support

Technical and operational support for vessel owners and operators managing LNG carrier fleets.

Performance Monitoring

Voyage performance analysis — speed, consumption, and efficiency benchmarked against charter party warranties and fleet norms.

Planned Maintenance System

PMS oversight and audit. Ensuring class-required maintenance intervals are met and defect reporting is current.

Technical Advisory

Engineering review of vessel specifications, class condition reports, and retrofit feasibility — particularly for reliquefaction or re-engining projects.
