ISO 16904 specifies the design, minimum safety requirements and inspection and testing procedures for liquefied natural gas (LNG) marine transfer arms intended for use on conventional onshore LNG terminals, handling LNG carriers engaged in international trade.
ISO 16904 can provide guidance for offshore and coastal operations. ISO 16904 also covers the minimum requirements for safe LNG transfer between ship and shore.
ISO 16904 is supplementary to local or national standards and regulations and is additional to the requirements of ISO 28460.
Note 1: ISO 16904 needs not be applied to existing facilities.
Note 2: Although the requirements for power/control systems are covered, ISO 16904 does not include all the details for the design and fabrication of standard parts and fittings associated with transfer arms.
ISO 16904 on Design and testing of LNG marine transfer arms for conventional onshore terminals are useful for:
ISO 16904 helps you design, inspect and test LNG marine transfer arms intended for use on conventional onshore LNG terminals in a standardized manner to ensure seamless international trade.
Adherence to ISO 16904, lets you ensure safety while carrying out offshore and coastal operations and handling LNG carriers.
