LNG System Maintenance
As part of our assurance to clients, STS Marine Solutions facilitates and conducts our own routine and corrective maintenance of LNG STS transfer systems.
We employ a balance of preventive, predictive, and on-failure corrective maintenance, in line with the OEM and industry guidelines, using only original OEM consumable and parts. Recently our certified engineer completed the 2nd annual inspection of an 8" LNG transfer system located in Europe. A scope of work was developed and defined based on the volume of system use, known defect repairs, and system technical bulletins.
The scope of work included
- Pre-use and proof test of equipment
- Full system setup and testing, including the manual and automatic activation of ESD1 and ESD2 functions,
- Controlled activation of the ERC's, internal inspection, and pressure testing.
- Inspection of Vessel separation detectors
- Inspection of ancillary equipment (saddles/reducers/dryers/lifting accessories/etc)
Alongside our inspection and testing of fenders and transfer hoses, we ensure all our system are ready to be deployed at our clients request for commercial and emergency STS requirements.
