- Fig. 3a and 3b illustrate transverse sections of different embodiments of the FLNG unit.
- Fig. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of fig. 2, also showing elements of the LNG production system.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the general arrangement of a typical Moss type LNG carrier 1.
- the LNG carrier is used for storing of LNG.
- the LNG carrier 1 comprises essentially a ship hull 2, in which spherical LNG storage tanks 3 are provided.
- the LNG carrier 1 is considered well known for a skilled person and will not be described in detail herein.
- the LNG carrier 1 comprises four spherical LNG storage tanks 3.
- fig. 2 illustrating the present invention as a device 1 1 for floating production of LNG (i.e. an FLNG).
- the device comprises an LNG carrier comprising a ship hull 12 and at least one spherical LNG storage tank 13 for storing LNG.
- the device 1 1 may be utilized as a more or less stationary floating unit anchored to the seabed or positioned by DP; where natural gas is converted to LNG on the device 11 and where the tanks 13 are used as temporary storage. In such use, the LNG will be transported to the marked by means of other transport vessels that fills their LNG tanks from the tanks 13 of the device 1 1.
- the device 1 1 may also comprise a propulsion system 14 for transportation of the LNG.
- the device or FLNG 1 1 further comprises a projecting hull structure 16 fixed to the ship hull 12.
- the projecting hull structure 16 is denoted a so-called sponson structure, which is a term used to describe structures that project from the side of a ship.
- the sponson structure 16 may be fixed to the outer side surface of the hull of the ship hull, for example, the sponson structure 16 may be welded to the ship hull
- the sponson structure 16 is suitable for being retrofitted to an existing LNG carrier.
- the ship hull 12 and the sponson structure 16 may also be arranged as an integral structure, for example if the entire FLNG is built as a new structure. As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3a-b, the sponson structure 16 comprises two structures, one sponson structure on each side (starboard and port side) of the ship hull 12.
- the upper deck of the sponson structure 16 may be at the same elevation as the main deck of the ship hull.
- the sponson structure 16 is arranged above the water level A of the ship hull 12. Consequently, the sponson structure 16 may be retrofitted to an LNG carrier without the need for a dry dock during the retrofitting process.
- the sponson structure 16 it would also be possible to arrange the sponson structure 16 so that it is entirely or partially below the water level A, as indicated in fig. 3b.
- the sponson structure 16 may be watertight. Hence, the sponson structure 16 contribute to the buoyancy and hydrostatic stability of the FLNG, when submerged in water.
- the water level A in fig. 3a is indicated for a vessel where there is no LNG in the LNG storage tanks 13.
- the sponson structures 16 will normally be partially submerged in water and hence contribute to the buoyancy and hydrostatic stability mentioned above.
- the device or FLNG 1 1 further comprises a LNG production system 17 for converting natural gas to LNG.
- the LNG production system 17 is arranged in the projecting hull structure 16. However, some elements of the LNG production system 17 may also be arranged in the ship hull 12, if suitable. It should be noted that the term "in” is used herein. However, a skilled person would know that the different elements of the LNG production system 17 may be located inside the hull structure 16, inside the ship hull 12, on the deck(s) of the hull structure 16 or the ship hull 12 etc or wherever it is suitable to provide such equipment.
- the device or FLNG 1 1 further comprises means (not shown) for transferring LNG from the LNG production system 17 to the at lest one spherical LNG storage tank
- the device 1 1 may also comprise means for receiving natural gas from an external source and means for processing and conveying the natural gas to the LNG production system 17. Since the hull structure 16 does not substantially affect the ship hull 12, LNG storage tanks etc, the hull structure 16 and the LNG production system 17 are well suitable to be retrofitted onto the LNG carrier.

- the sponson structures will now be described further in detail.
- the sponson structures are steel structures with stiffened shell plating and transverse frames/bulkheads, designed so they can be welded directly to the sides of the ship hull 12, which has only a minor impact on the design of the ship hull 12.
- the sponson structures may be designed and manufactured by use of conventional ship structure elements like steel plates and rolled/built profiles etc.
- the scantling of the sponson structures shall be satisfactory for supporting the weights/loads from equipment installed on top of the sponsons, external sea pressures, internal tank liquid pressures etc.
- the sponson structures will also represent a significant increase of the overall longitudinal strength of the ship hull 12.
- the top side of the sponson structures may be prepared as flat decks, which provides space and structural strength for installation of equipment. This is the primary purpose of the sponsons, but equally important the sponsons will provide additional hydrostatic stability of the vessel, when the sponsons are submerged in water, which is an important aspect given the significant weight and centre of gravity of the equipment associated with the LNG production.
- the main dimensions of the sponsons will depend on several factors, like required space for the equipment to be installed on top of the sponsons, required hydrostatic stability contribution from the sponsons, possible requirements for using the interior of the sponsons as liquid hydrocarbon storage and/or ballast water tanks etc.
- the sponsons may be erected and fitted to the ship hull structure in a building dock at a shipyard. However, the sponsons may also be designed and shaped in the way that they can be fitted when the ship hull is floating alongside an outfitting quay. The sponsons to be built in sections and lifted to final position by shore cranes or floating cranes. For simplification of the erection procedure the extension of the sponsons as far as possible is to be confined within the flat-of-side area of the main hull.
- a method for converting an LNG-carrier to a device for floating production of LNG is also provided.
- the LNG carrier is comprising a ship hull 12 and at least one spherical LNG storage tank 13 for storing LNG.
