A) Wide and Flat Upper Deck

B) Any Level Loading without Sloshing
C) Hi

A) Wide and Flat Upper
Upper--deck

- To install topside plant on upper deck

Wide and Flat Upper
Upper--deck is essential for
FLNG to mount Topside process plant

B) Any Level Loading without Sloshing

- To produce LNG continuously by planned production rate

Sloshing is : Resonance of liquid in tank with the vessel motions

z Eliminate sloshing
g phenomenon
p itself by
y
providing internal bulkheads in both
transverse and longitudinal directions.
z Natural way in marine technology not to
generate sloshing by dividing liquid into
portions, exactly
y same approach to :
9 Crude oil tankers
9 LPG tankers
9 Chemical tankers, etc.

• To operate continuously without dry dock during long life time
• To

Operation Records

• No trouble on the SPB tank

• No shutdown of floating terminals since start of
their operation
• No delay of LNG transportation even in very
harsh route, Alaska – Japan
LNG Carriers Floating LPG Terminals
(from 1993) (from 2005) (from 1997)

 D) Easy Operation & Less Maintenance
-Simple Pressure Control, Independence from Hull
Hull--
• To operate continuously without dry dock during long life time
• To minimize risks to stop FLNG operation

• No special pressure controls

Strong against OUTER and inner
pressure

• Free from inner hull damage

g
Seawater leakage from ballast tank, if
it should occur, can be treated safely
andd repaired.
