[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship technology, and in particular to a ventilation device for an LNG bunkering ship and an LNG bunkering ship. Background Art

[0002] As the main artery of inland waterway shipping in my country, the annual transportation volume of the Yangtze River is as high as 3 billion tons, accounting for more than 60% of the total inland waterway shipping. However, Yangtze River shipping has long used traditional fuels such as diesel and heavy oil as ship power fuel. Compared with ships fueled by LNG, the comprehensive pollution emissions of traditional fuel ships are 70% higher. The emissions of traditional fuel ships seriously affect the ecological environment along the Yangtze River.

[0003] Since inland LNG bunkering ships need to cross many Yangtze River bridges along the Yangtze River, the height of the cargo machinery room on the deck is limited. The cargo machinery room is cramped and many equipments need to be arranged, so it is impossible to reserve enough space for fans and air ducts. At the same time, the cargo machinery room is mainly responsible for the relevant processing of liquefied natural gas. When performing operations such as liquefied natural gas filling, the top of the cargo machinery room is a dangerous area, which is not conducive to the arrangement of fans. Therefore, it is very difficult to arrange traditional built-in fans and air ducts in the cargo machinery room of inland LNG bunkering ships, and it is not conducive to the safety of the ship.
