LNG hose transfer systems
LNG hose transfer systems have a number of advantages compared to typical loading systems. Reduced loading time, lower space requirements, high security and outstanding reliability are among key benefits.
System application:
- LNG shore-to-sip loading/offloading
- LNG bunkering
- LNG ship-to-ship loading/offloading
LNG shore-to-ship loading/offloading
Reel systems for shore-to-ship loading/offloading ensure safe and effective performance, and storage of cryogenic transfer hoses used to handle LNG.
The system can be used in areas with shallow coastal waters or existing quays, and enables installation without large-scale investments into port infrastructure.
• Suitable for areas with shallow coastal waters of existing quays
• Enables installation without large-scale investments into port infrastructure
• Variable number of reels/hoses based on customer’s needs
• Solid coupling with transfer pipe through swivel
• Full bore LNG transfer hose
• Hose can be floating or immersed
• Quick connect; dry break coupling is available
• Passive or active coupling for LNG emergency breakaway (ERC)
• Hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically driven
LNG bunkering
Bunkering systems ensure safe and effective performance and storage of transfer hoses during LNG bunkering: ships fueling by LND at berth or offshore.
• Number of reels required to meet the target
• Full bore LNG transfer hose
• Quick connect, dry break coupling
• Coupling for safe emergency breakaway with minimum LNG spillage
• Can be installed on board or on shore
• Hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically driven
LNG ship-to-ship loading/offloading
Reel systems for ship-to-ship loading/offloading ensure safe and effective performance, storage of transfer hoses and auxiliary equipment used during ship-to-ship transfer.
The systems are used for LNG transfer from FLNG to the carrier for transportation (LNGC), or from carrier to FLNG for storage and regasification (FSRU).
