#$%^&*AU2018232894A120190502.pdf#####ABSTRACT A method of offshore LNG transfer between a floating LNG vessel (FLNG) 10 and a LNG carrier 12. The method involves a first step of tandem mooring of the LNG carrier 12 to the FLNG10 by a mooring hawser 16. A semi-submersible pontoon 18 s ("SSP 18") is then positioned near the FLNG 10. A tug 24 is then connected with a stern 26 of the LNG carrier 12. LNG is transferred from the FLNG 10 via the SSP 18 to the LNG carrier 12. This is done using hoses 20 which are always kept above the water plane, and therefore do not need the capability to float on the water which comes with substantial associated complexity and cost. 8CD r14 rn rn r14 bLo r'4 00 00 r-4 ( o IZI, CD rn r-4 CIO 00 T-i IZI, C-4 r14 r14 blo CD C-4 0 00 r14 r-4 rn blo iz A - C-4 ( o r-I 00 rn C
