LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS FLOATER FOR FACILITATING THE INSTALLATION OF LIQUEFACTION FACILITY WITHOUT THE REMODELING OF A LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS CARRIER

摘要

PURPOSE: A liquefied natural gas floater is provided to improve the stability by maintaining the balance of a level regulator of a floating body. ;CONSTITUTION: A liquefied natural gas floater comprises a liquefied natural gas carrier(10), a floater(20), and a liquefaction facility(30). A first ballast tank(11) of the LNG hull stores ballast water. The floater floats on the sea water surface apart from LNG hull with fixed distance. A second ballast tank(21) of the floater stores the ballast water. One end of the liquefaction facility is connected to the liquefied natural gas carrier. The other end part of the liquefaction facility is connected to the floater.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
