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 longtime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
