Set a new benchmark for LNG safety and competence with Wärtsilä’s scalable and customisable LNG Bunkering and Fuel Gas Supply System Simulator. The solution is suitable for both independent learning and instructor‑led IGF Code training, supporting basic and advanced competence development. Designed for both independent learning and instructor‑led training, the simulator prepares crews for safe and compliant LNG operations in line with the IGF Code and STCW requirements.
As LNG adoption increases across the maritime industry, safe handling of fuel gas systems has become a critical competence requirement. LNG bunkering and fuel gas supply operations involve complex processes, strict procedures, and high safety expectations.
The Wärtsilä LNG Bunkering and Fuel Gas Supply System Simulator enables crews to gain practical experience with LNG operations, emergency scenarios, and system behaviour before working with real equipment, reducing operational risk and improving compliance.
The simulator delivers realistic, hands‑on training for LNG bunkering and fuel gas supply operations, supporting both basic familiarisation and advanced competence development.
Training scenarios include alarms, shutdowns, leakages, hose disconnections, overfilling, and overpressure situations, enabling crews to practise safe responses to LNG‑related emergencies.
It enables organisations to train crews efficiently through a combination of independent learning and instructor‑led sessions, supporting regulatory compliance, consistent assessment, and continuous improvement in LNG safety. Custom models can be developed to reflect specific vessels or terminals, enabling type‑specific training, case studies, and predictive operational analysis.
The simulator replicates LNG bunkering and fuel gas supply system operations using high‑fidelity mathematical models. These models accurately represent LNG thermodynamics, phase transitions, and system behaviour under normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions.
A visual walkthrough demonstrates LNG system components, operational flows, and safety considerations, supporting intuitive understanding of complex LNG processes and enhancing learning outcomes.
The simulator allows trainees to practise:
The solution scales from laptop‑based setups to full‑mission classroom environments, allowing flexible deployment depending on training needs.
The Wärtsilä LNG Bunkering and Fuel Gas Supply System Simulator is suitable for:
It supports both entry‑level and advanced IGF Code training programmes.
The simulator can be delivered in multiple formats, including:
The system is designed for rapid deployment and easy configuration across different training environments.
The simulator is available as a one‑off purchase or annual subscription and can include delivery, installation, upgrades, remote support, warranty coverage, and training services.
The Wärtsilä LNG Bunkering and Fuel Gas Supply System Simulator is:
Certification by ClassNK confirms the simulator’s suitability for both basic and advanced IGF Code training programmes under STCW requirements.
The IGF Code courseware serves as a teaching aid for both instructor‑led training and student‑led self‑preparation for seafarers working on ships subject to the IGF Code.
Training includes lectures and simulator‑based exercises and requires the use of the Wärtsilä TechSim LNG Bunkering and Fuel Gas Supply System Simulator. The courseware has been developed in cooperation with Aboa Mare (Finland).
