[0002] The gas system of a dual-fuel container ship is the core system of the entire ship and an important symbol of green emission reduction. The use of the most economical and practical LNG as the carrier of the propulsion device breaks the previous drive mode that only relies on the main engine diesel, and further reduces energy consumption. This new process is bound to put forward higher requirements on the structure of the fuel tank. The fuel tank penetration body must not only withstand the low temperature of -163℃, but also meet the needs of the site to meet the simultaneous penetration of multiple temperature sensor cables into the fuel tank penetration. The original 23000TEU and 13000TEU fuel tanks were only arranged with 8 temperature sensors. In the subsequent new 23000TEU replica ship, 88 new temperature sensors were added to the fuel tank to improve the accuracy of the temperature monitoring system (TMS).
