Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC
282, Installation and Equipment for LNG, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 20519:2017), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— in 5.5.5, dry connect and disconnect couplings, if used, are required to meet the applicable
requirements of ISO 21593, however, it is permitted to use, under specified conditions, couplings
manufactured before the publication of ISO 21593;
— in 6.2.2 a), if flowmeters are used to measure LNG being bunkered, the LNG provider to inform the
party receiving the LNG if the flowmeter conforms to ISO 21903.

Introduction
This document has been produced to meet an industry need identified by the International Maritime
Organization (IMO). It has been designed to support the IMO International Code of Safety for Ships
using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code).
Due to numerous economic and environmental factors, the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a
vessel’s fuel has increased. While LNG fuelled ships and vessels have been in service since the early
2000s, most of these vessels have operated within small defined areas using LNG bunkering operations
designed for that particular vessel service. The increase in LNG fuelled vessels corresponds with
an increase in the number of the regions that these vessels service. Therefore, there is a need to
standardize LNG bunkering operations internationally to a reasonable degree so that vessel operators
have the tools to select vessel fuel providers that meet set safety and fuel quality standards for LNG
bunkering operations to be conducted safely.
This document can be applied in many situations and under various regulatory regimes. Existing
regulations can cover the topics addressed in this document.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

Introduction
This document has been produced to meet an industry need identified by the International Maritime
Organization (IMO). This document has been designed to support the IMO International Code of Safety
for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code).
Due to numerous economic and environmental factors, the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a
vessel’s fuel has increased. While LNG fuelled ships and vessels have been in service since the early
2000’s, most of these vessels have operated within small defined areas using LNG bunkering operations
designed for that particular vessel service. The increase in LNG fuelled vessels corresponds with an
increase in the number of the regions that these vessels will service. Therefore, there is a need to
standardize LNG bunkering operations internationally to a reasonable degree so that vessel operators
will have the tools to select vessel fuel providers that meet set safety and fuel quality standards and LNG
bunkering operations will be conducted safely. This document can be used for both vessels involved in
international and domestic service regardless of size.
This document does not replace existing laws or regulations. It is flexible so that it can be applied in
many situations and under various regulatory regimes as long as the requirements of this document
are met. If, however, local regulations preclude its use and do not provide the safety specified in this
document, compliance with this document should not be claimed.

3.1
bunkering
operation of transferring LNG fuel to a vessel (3.22)
Note 1 to entry: For the purposes of this document, it refers to the delivery of LNG only. This document does not
address the transfer of CNG, propane or fuels other than LNG that may be covered by the IGF Code (see 3.2).
3.2
bunkering terminal
fixed operation on or near shore that is not regulated as a vessel (3.22) that can be used to provide LNG
bunkers to a receiving vessel
3.3
Classed
classification
process in which the design and condition of a vessel (3.22) is evaluated to determine its compliance
with rules and standards developed by the Classification Society (3.5) issuing the classification
3.4
controlled zones
areas extending from the bunkering manifolds on the LNG receiving vessel and the LNG supply source
during LNG bunkering operations that have restrictions in place
Note 1 to entry: These restrictions include limitation on personnel access, sources of ignition and unauthorized
activities. The controlled zones are subdivided into hazardous zones, safety zones and the monitoring and
security areas as defined in Annex B.
3.5
Classification Society
non-governmental organization that establishes and maintains technical standards for the construction
and operation of ships and offshore structures
Note 1 to entry: They also validate that construction is according to these standards and carry out regular
surveys in service to verify compliance with the standards.
3.6
dry-connection or disconnection
method that reduces LNG (3.10) or natural gas releases into the atmosphere under normal operation to
a negligible amount consistent with safety, either by equipment design or procedural practice
3.7
dry-disconnect/connect coupling (DD/CC)
mechanical device used to connect the hose bunkering system to LNG fuel manifold without
employing bolts
3.8
emergency release (break-away) coupling
ERC
coupling installed on LNG (3.10) and vapour lines, as a component of ERS, to ensure the quick physical
disconnection of the transfer system from the unit to which it is connected, designed to prevent damage
to loading/unloading equipment in the event that the transfer system’s operational envelope and/or
parameters are exceeded beyond a predetermined point
