Rina will be holding a new conference in January 2008 relating to the Design and Operation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas ships followed by the success of 2006 International conference.
LPG vessels may have pressurized, semi-pressurized or fully refrigerated cargo systems, able to trade from both pressure and refrigerated storages. Fully refrigerated ships will require a chiller to cool down LPG at the load port or a re-heater to warm LPG discharging into pressure storage. The problematic characteristics of LPG have made it a late developer. Seaborne trade in LPG was less than one million tonnes in 1960, reached 17 million tonnes by 1980 and was in excess of 47 million tonnes by the year 2000. With the great changes expected in the LPG industry, this conference will provide a forum for discussion and a means of professional development for those involved with the design, construction and operation of LPG ships.
