Ukuze kuxazululwe ukuguquguquka okukhulu kwezinga lamanzi ngezikhathi ezithile kanye nezinhlobo ezahlukene zemikhumbi eYangtze, isiteshi sisebenzisa imodeli ehlanganisiwe "ye-floating bunkering pontoon + isitoreji nokulawula okusekelwe ogwini." I-pontoon ifakwe isistimu yokubeka izindawo eziningi kanye nezingalo zokulayisha eziguquguqukayo ukuze zivumelane namazinga ahlukene amanzi kanye nezinhlobo zemikhumbi, okwenza kube lula ukubopha okuphephile nokulula kokubopha imikhumbi. Isigaba esisekelwe ogwini sihlanganisa amathangi amakhulu okugcina afakwe ugesi, iyunithi yokutakula ye-BOG, kanye nesikhungo sokulawula esihlakaniphile, esinesakhiwo esincane esihlangabezana nezidingo zokuvimbela izikhukhula.

Imishini eyinhloko yesiteshi ihlanganisa amaphampu angaphansi kwamanzi ageleza kakhulu kanye nezikhali zokulayisha zasolwandle ezinkulu, ngesilinganiso esiphezulu sokugoba okukodwa esifinyelela kumamitha angu-300 ngehora, okunciphisa kakhulu isikhathi sokugoba emikhunjini emikhulu. Uhlelo luhlanganisa amamitha okugeleza kobuningi kanye nabahlaziyi besampula abaku-inthanethi, ukuqinisekisa ukudluliselwa okunembile kokugcinwa kanye nokuqapha ikhwalithi kaphethiloli ngesikhathi sangempela, kuhambisana ngokugcwele nemithetho yeziphathimandla zasolwandle yokugoba uphethiloli emikhunjini.

Ipulatifomu yokuphatha ukuphepha ehlakaniphile ehlanganisiwe ye-"Ship-Shore-Station" isunguliwe. Uhlelo lune-automatic identification ship, remote bunker schedule, ezenzakalelayo fully automatic bunker process control, kanye ne-real time data logging. Ukuze kuphephe, luhlanganisa ukutholakala kwegesi ephumayo e-pontoon, uhlelo lwe-Emergency Release Coupling (ERC), kanye ne-safety interlocks (ESD) phakathi kwesiteshi sogu kanye namathangi kaphethiloli omkhumbi, okuqinisekisa ukuphepha okuphelele endaweni yokuxhumana nogu lomkhumbi.

Isiteshi sokugoba sihlanganisa ngobuhlakani umklamo ophansi wekhabhoni ohlanganisa "ukusetshenziswa kwamandla abandayo + ukunikezwa kwamandla ogwini." Sisebenzisa ngokugcwele amandla abandayo akhishwa ngesikhathi senqubo yokuvuselela igesi ye-LNG ukuze kuhlinzekwe ukupholisa izakhiwo zesiteshi noma izakhiwo ezizungezile. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, isiteshi sihlonyiswe ngohlelo lwamandla ogwini olunamandla aphezulu lwemikhumbi, oluhlinzeka ngogesi ohlanzekile emikhumbini ngesikhathi sokugoba, lufeza "ubizo olulodwa, izinsizakalo ezimbili" (uphethiloli + ugesi) futhi lusekela imisebenzi yemikhumbi engenawo ugesi echwebeni.
