The LNG cargoes are delivered to the FSRU via Ship to Ship (STS) Operations with LNG Carriers ranging from approximately 125,500 m3 to 180,000 M3 in double banked arrangement. The FSRU is equipped with STS Kit consisting of four (4) 10” liquid hoses and two (2) 10” vapor return hoses allowing it to transfer at a maximum rate of abt 9,000 m3/hour, with 1 hose set in spare; each hose set is 15.5m long. The FSRU, the mooring system and the natural gas loading arms are designed for a maximum wind speed of 20.0 m/s during LNG cargo operation (LNGC to FSRU) and a maximum wind speed of 24.4 m/s for the FSRU to LNG jetty (high pressure natural gas transfer).

The FSRU is moored at the LNG berth using a mooring system of a total of 20 mooring lines, each line comprising of a synthetic with tail, to moor the FSRU to the jetty’s dolphins/fenders. Two (2) High Pressure gas arm connections from the FSRU to the LNG jetty are applied.

LNG composition is depending on the source and the cleaning process applied. During a voyage of the LNG carrier the LNG composition will change due to the gasification of the LNG.

The vaporization system is made up of three vaporization trains each having a capacity of three times 280 cubic metres. Each trains comprises HP LNG pumps, as well as a printed circuit type vaporizer which regasifies LNG against propane. The propane is heated by seawater taken from the surrounding. If required, the sea water can be heated by steam generated from natural gas fired boilers. The vaporization system has a significant turn down and will be capable to operate at a minimum send-out rate of 55.000 cubic metres per hour . LTeW, based on its supply and demand requirements, will dictate the send-out flow within the design operational envelope of the FSRU with a pressure of 65 – 95 bar(g) at battery limit.
