 The Buoys
|
The buoysNatural gas is discharged via a trunk in the forward part of the vessel which houses the turret buoy mating cone and swivel system adapted for high pressure natural gas. The shuttle- and regassification vessel (SRV) is capable of staying moored to the transfer system at a location offshore and perform its send-out function in up to severe weather conditions.
The buoy is an integrated single point mooring system and the SRV will connect to the buoy before it starts to regassify the liquefied natural gas and send it through the buoy and riser. The system will make use of the Submerged Turret Loading or STL turret mooring and transfer system designed by APL - Advanced Production Loading - of Norway. The technology has proved its reliability through many years of nearly uninterupted operation in the North Sea in extremely harsh weather conditions |
