    摘要: Described herein are methods of manufacturing an at-shore water-based apparatus for liquefaction of natural gas. In some cases, the methods can include determining a weight of an air-cooled electrically driven refrigeration system (“AER System”); locating a ballast medium in a hull where the ballast medium has a simulated weight approximate to the weight of the AER System; determining a deflection of the hull caused by the simulated weight; moving the ballast medium off the hull while attaching the AER System; assembling a plurality of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) storage tanks in the hull; and coupling the AER System with the LNG storage tanks. The ballast medium can be moved off the hull such that the weight of the ballast medium supported by the hull is reduced in order to maintain the deflection of the hull while the AER System is attached.
