OGP（国际石油和天然气生产商协会）和ISO（国际标准化组织）已同意一个临时的解决方案，响应临时行业相关的不确定性与贸易法规（欧盟 ​​和美国）和他们的适用性在石油和天然气领域的标准化。包括2013 OGP 118683 LNG为燃料的船舶供应系统和装置的指引，涵盖 设备，系统，程序和培训。

据前言，LNG技术规范是为了帮助船舶燃料供应设施之间的接口标准化，以确保LNG燃料船舶，可以在任何港口加油与世界各地的LNG燃料供应设施。行业认识到，不能等待和LNG燃料的特点，不同其它船舶燃料显着，文件已经发出预标准化的目的与意图发展成一个ISO国际标准随着时间的推移。

的规划和设计技术规范提供了指导 -

• 加油设施
• 船舶/加油设备接口
• 的连接和断开的过程
• 紧急停机接口，并
• 的LNG加油过程控制

的LNG船舶燃料从而确保了高水平的安全性，完整性和可靠性，无论船舶加油设施不同的加油。

OGP (International Association of Oil and Gas Producers) and ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) have agreed an interim solution that responds to temporary industry uncertainties associated with trade regulations (EU and US) and their applicability to standardisation in the oil and gas sector. Included is OGP 118683, 2013: Guidelines for systems and installations for supply of LNG as fuel to ships, covering equipment, systems, procedures and training.

According to the Foreword, the LNG technical specification is to help standardise the interface between the ship and the fuel supply facilities to ensure that a LNG fuelled ship can refuel in any port around the world with LNG fuel supply facilities. Recognising the industry cannot wait and that the characteristics of LNG fuel differ significantly from other marine fuels, the document has been issued for pre-standardisation purposes with the intent to develop it over time into an ISO International Standard.

The technical specification provides guidance for the planning and design of -

• the bunkering facility
• the ship/bunkering facility interface
• procedures for connection and disconnection
• the emergency shutdown interface, and
• the LNG bunkering process control

and thereby ensuring that an LNG fuelled ship can refuel with a high level of safety, integrity and reliability regardless of the type of bunkering facility.
