A hybrid method for the safety zone design in truck-to-ship LNG bunkering

This paper is a sequel to the authors’ earlier article, which addressed safe layout design of liquified natural gas (LNG) fueled facilities for preventing LNG or (NG) leaks. aims develop new method designing safety zone LNG-fueled ships during truck-to-ship bunkering. While deterministic approach has limitations in practical application, hybrid suggested as an advanced solution. In this regard, develops alternative solution based current industry practice. The applicability proposed demonstrated with illustrative example insights and findings are summarized association zone, contributing engineering
