Permitting Process (Italy)
• APPROVAL TO INSTALL AND OPERATE AN OFFSHORE
TERMINAL IN ITALY(Major Permits):
• Maritime Concession
• Technology Qualification
• FMECA
• HAZOP
• Risk-based maintenance strategies
(Reliability-Centered Maintenance,
Condition-Based Maintenance)
• Risk-Based Inspections
• Assistance in drafting Safety Cases
Novel Technologies
• Loading Arms
– Well proven for transfer between ship and
shore for LNG
– Never used in open water between two
moving objects
– The following to be investigated
• Operating envelope
• Reliability (maintenance)
• Operations connection/disconnection
• Availability
• Failure modes
– Design out problems and demonstrate this
Novel Technologies
• Mooring Arrangements
– Ships motions – (model testing &
verification)
– Verify mooring system
• Operating limits
• Operations (mooring/unmooring)
• Reliability
• Availability of vessel.
• Failure modes
