    摘要: Disclosed is a membrane bonding structure for bonding a membrane for forming a sealed wall between first and second surfaces of a storage tank for storing liquefied gas. The membrane bonding structure may comprise: a planar portion panel installed on the first and second surfaces so as to thermally insulate the storage tank; a bonding panel installed on the boundary portion between the first and second surfaces together with the planar portion panel; a first membrane attached to the planar portion panel on the first surface and to the bonding panel so as to seal the storage tank; and a second membrane attached to the planar portion panel on the second surface and to the bonding panel so as to seal the storage tank. The first membrane and the second membrane may be attached to the bonding panel so as to make no direct connection.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for managing maintenance for a ship comprising a sealed and thermally insulating tank for transporting liquefied gas. The method comprises the steps consisting in determining 310 a current filling level of the tank, determining 320 a current state of movement of the ship, determining 330 a current sloshing index IBi from the current filling level of the tank and the current state of movement of the ship, taking into account the position and the geometry of the tank, integrating 340 the determined current sloshing index IBi into a wear index IUi that takes into account a history of the sloshing indices. The wear index is then compared to a threshold in order to indicate if the tank needs to be inspected, depending on the result of the comparison.

    摘要: A gas supply marine vessel and a floating refueling facility are described. The gas supply marine vessel includes a hull with an upper deck having an elongated cargo cavity formed therein. Gas interface modules are disposed in the cavity and extend between hull sides, each module having a plurality of fuel vessel docking stations. A plurality of stacked fuel container assemblies are fluidically coupled to the docking stations. A gantry, movable along the length of the cavity, straddles the cargo cavity between hull sides. An articulating crane is mounted on the gantry and it utilized to move fuel container assemblies to a fuel container depression formed in the deck of the floating refueling facility. The floating refueling facility may include a concave side to facilitate mooring adjacent a shoreline, the concave side forming angled extensions at corners of the deck with a linkspan extending from each of the angled extensions.
