    摘要: A mooring system may comprise a station keeping apparatus having a turntable rotatably mounted thereon. The station keeping apparatus is operable to movably couple to a first vessel and to a second vessel in a side-by-side configuration. The turntable is operable to freely rotate both the first and the second vessel about the station keeping apparatus. The station keeping apparatus is securable to the second vessel using a head mooring line having a length which is adjustable for aligning a heading of both the first and the second vessel with a prevailing weather direction. Further, the mooring system may comprise a rigid yoke or a soft yoke movably coupling the turntable to the first vessel for angular adjustment between the station keeping apparatus and a longitudinal center line of the first vessel.

    摘要: A cargo transfer system for transferring cargo between two decks which may be subject to relative movements between each other is disclosed. The cargo transfer system includes a transverse member movably coupled to an elevated portion of a first deck (or a tower member on the first deck), and a side member movably coupled to the transverse member. In a deployment position, the side member is releasably coupled with a receiving base on the second deck. The cargo transfer system is actuatable by a relative movement between the first deck and the second deck to self-adjust for accommodating or countering the relative movement.

    摘要: Disclosed are various apparatus and method for transferring a hydrocarbon fluid between two bodies. To this purpose, a transfer skid and transfer hoses are moved from a first body to a second body to be installed thereupon to provide fluid communication between the two bodies. Offloading of hydrocarbon fluid may then take place between the two bodies. Emergency release operation may be triggered during the offloading, where the transfer hoses are disconnected from the transfer skid, and are returned to the first body. Various features of the transfer skid and associated apparatus allow the transfer skid to be installed on the second body with improved mating connections, transfer hoses to be returned to the first body after offloading operation without hydrocarbon fluid leakage, and transfer hoses to disconnect with speed and safety during emergency release operation.

    摘要: Methods and systems disclosed provide a cost efficient supply chain for natural gas, thereby enabling monetization of smaller natural gas sources and supply of natural gas to regions with low demand. The method comprises transferring a hydrocarbon fluid to a production location, liquefying the hydrocarbon fluid, storing the hydrocarbon fluid in a plurality of transferable containers, moving the plurality of transferable containers having the hydrocarbon fluid from the production location to a marine vessel, transporting the plurality of transferable containers having the hydrocarbon fluid on the marine vessel, and offloading the hydrocarbon fluid at an import location. At the import location, the transferable containers may be moved from the marine vessel to the import location and distributed at least one vehicle from the import terminal to one or more user locations for vaporizing the liquefied fluid at the user location(s).
