LNG Cargo Boil-Off & Reliquefaction Tool BOG Rate, Cargo Loss, Fuel Use & Tank Pressure
Model what happens to LNG boil-off during a laden voyage instead of treating BOR as simple cargo loss. The tool separates gross BOG generation from fuel consumption, reliquefaction, GCU destruction, emergency venting and vapor accumulation, then tracks remaining liquid cargo, retained onboard mass, energy recovered as fuel, reliquefaction power and an empirical tank-pressure trend against action and MARVS limits.

Voyage Leg Register
Each leg sets voyage duration, BOR multiplier, gas-fuel demand, reliquefaction/GCU availability and pressure-rise multiplier. The simulation runs in six-hour increments, carrying liquid mass and vapor inventory from one leg into the next.

BOG Management Checks
IGC / engineering limitation: the IGC Code requires cargo pressure and temperature to remain within containment-system design limits using approved methods such as reliquefaction, thermal oxidation, pressure accumulation or liquid cooling. Normal venting is not acceptable as a pressure-control method except for emergency/permitted cases. The pressure trace below is therefore a ship-specific empirical screening model based on the entered no-handling pressure-rise coefficient. It is not a vapor-equilibrium, tank-structural or PRV sizing calculation.
