The international standard for measuring the boil-off rate of cargo containment systems for liquefied natural gas vessels, led by China, has been released.

Golden Ten Data reported on June 22 that the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has recently officially released the world's first international standard specifically for measuring the boil-off rate (BOR) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo containment systems: ISO21154:2026 "Ships and marine technology — Measurement methods for boil-off rate (BOR) of LNG cargo containment systems." Led by China, the development of this international standard brought together the expertise of specialists from countries including the United States, South Korea, Japan, Norway, and Singapore. This marks another major contribution by China to the high-tech LNG vessel sector, following the international standard for ultra-low temperature valves.
