Abstract
A method for operating an LNG fuelled marine vessel having a propulsion system, a power plant and an LNG storage tank, whereby LNG is supplied as a gas fuel from the LNG storage tank to the power plant. The marine vessel deploys a fixed LNG storage tank and a removable LNG storage tank on board the marine vessel. In order to facilitate bunkering, the removable LNG storage tank is removed and replaced by another removable LNG storage tank at a bunkering facility.
