• Present only during LNG bunkering operation.
Safety Zone • Different calculation methodologies for best estimate of LNG vapour cloud dispersion
• Protection against external factors, derived from other operations and activities within the port area, in the vicinity of the LNG
bunkering location.
• Present during LNG bunkering, from pre-bunkering to post-bunkering phases.
Security
• Based on the situational awareness and evaluation of PAAs.
Zones
• Evaluation based on the operational activity and infrastructure surrounding the LNG bunkering location.
• PAAs should exercise a critical evaluation of how effective are the control zones in the guarantee of acceptable risk levels .
PAA • Location and context specific
Evaluation • Should look for potential ignition or gas trapping potential points in the vicinity of th Safety Zone.
• Meaningful Protection will derive from the effective implementation of the three defined Control zones (or more, depending
on possible local/port requirements), added to the PAA Evaluation.
• Should include a discussion between different involved stakeholders, including aspects discussed in the risk assessment and
