Shallow Water LNG Terminal Equipped with Large Bore Cryogenic Hoses

Shallow Water LNG Terminal Equipped with Marinised Conventional Loading Arms

This paper was prepared for presentation at the 2003 Offshore Technology Conference held in Houston, Texas, U.S.A., 5–8 May 2003.

Abstract
The paper describes a design family for ‘ship to ship’ and ‘ship to shore’ transfer systems for LNG. The common design philosophy is explained and each configuration is described briefly. Auxiliary systems and equipment are discussed as are operational procedures.
A case study is presented for a near shore LNG terminal, comprising a marine transfer system in combination with a regasification plant and a salt dome storage cavern. The regasification plant and the salt dome storage cavern are treated extensively.

The systems described will greatly advance the implementation of offshore terminals for LNG. Although new, all of the components used are proven and have been applied in LNG terminals and offshore loading systems for a long time.
