A METHOD OF ADAPTING A DECOMMISSIONED SHIP TO CONTROL ROLLING FOR FPSO PURPOSES AND A SHIP COMPRISING A BILGE KEEL

摘要

: This is a mechanical element intended ti control the rolling of fpso type petroleum production systems which use adapted decommissioned ships as the floatine facili9ty. Theb bilge keel is made up of two lines of plates, continuous or sectioned, in this case with a small separation between each two adjacent sections, mounted along the bilge of the ship, one on either side, at right angles to the hull, and characterized basically by being wider and having a greater total length than the bilge keels used in ships.
