Abstract:
A system for transferring liquid natural gas from a ship to a facility, the transfer system comprising: a hoisting device which is designed to be secured on the deck of the ship; a mobile chassis, which is supported by the hoisting device; a first on-board pipe, for transferring liquid natural gas from the ship to the facility, said first on-board pipe being supported by the mobile chassis; and a second on-board pipe for the transport of inert gas, said second on-board pipe being supported by the mobile chassis comprising a first connection element which is associated with the second duct, and being connected to the first on-board pipe between the valve and the second connection element of the first on-board pipe.
Abstract:
A system for transfer of a fluid between a ship and a facility having a mast, at least one fluid transfer line which extends along the mast, and at least one duct suspended on the distal end of the mast, which is firstly connected to the fluid transfer line, and secondly equipped with a connection element which is designed to cooperate with a manifold of the facility. The duct has a first, rigid portion and a second, flexible portion, and a rigidification element which is fitted such as to be mobile along the duct between a position for rigidification of the flexible portion and a position of release.
