The invention relates to a method and system for operating a LNG fuelled marine vessel. The marine vessel (1) comprises a LNG storage tank (3) and a LNG fuelled power plant (71). LNG is stored in the LNG storage tank, and in connection with a bunkering operation the marine vessel is supplied with LNG by connecting a source of LNG to a bunkering line (14) of the marine vessel and subsequently supplying the marine vessel with LNG through the bunkering line. In order to achieve a faster bunkering operation the bunkering line (14) is cooled down prior to the bunkering operation.

The invention relates to a hydrocarbon transfer system comprising a first structure (8) carrying an articulated arm (4, 5, 61, 62), having at a free (64) end a first connector part (65), and a vessel (7) comprising a second connector part (70), wherein each connector part comprises a coupling member (72, 73). The coupling member (72)of the first connector part (65) supporting at least one fluid duct (110) on its exterior, which duct can be placed into sealing engagement with a fluid duct (111) on the vessel (7) along respective sealing faces, and a locking member for locking the coupling members together. The fluid duct on the vessel comprises a substantially horizontally directed first and second duct section (113, 116), the first duct section (113) being via a first swivel (112) with a vertical axis of rotation, connected to piping on the vesse l (7). The second duct section ( 116), being via a second swivel (115) having a substantially vertical axis of rotation, connected to the fluid duct (110)on the coupling member (72)of the first (65)connector part, the first and second duct sections being mutually connected via a third swivel (114) having a substantially vertical axis of rotation.

Systeme transporteur pneumatique servant a transporter des materiaux en vrac depuis une tremie (2) situee sur la rive jusqu'a un bateau, compose d'une conduite comprenant une section d'entree (4), un tuyau telescopique intermediaire (36) et une section de sortie (45). Une extremite du tuyau telescopique (36) est reliee a la section d'entree (4) au moyen d'un joint universel (8, 10), une longueur de tuyau flexible (12) connectant la tremie (2) a l'extremite du tuyau telescopique, tandis que la section de sortie (45) est montee sur l'autre extremite du tuyau telescopique (36) au moyen d'un autre joint universel (48, 50), une autre longueur de tuyau flexible (52) connectant l'extremite du tuyau telescopique (36) avec un orifice de sortie de la section de sortie (45).
摘要:
A transfer arm for a fluid product, comprising a transfer pipe (12) having sections linked by fluid-tight articulations and having an end provided with a device for connecting the pipe (2) to a target duct, and a support structure (4) for the pipe (2) comprising an inner branch (16) mounted on a base (17) and an outer branch suspended from the inner branch (16) by articulation means (22) enabling rotation of the outer branch (18) around vertical and horizontal axes and arranged between a first and a second end of the outer branch, the first being provided with a counterweight (24) for balancing the two parts of the outer branch (18) that are situated on opposite sides of the horizontal rotational axis, the arm also comprising disengageable means for actuating the rotations of the outer branch around the horizontal and vertical axes and a flexible link (43) which suspends the pipe (2), upstream of the device, from second end of the outer branch (18).
摘要:
The invention concerns a fluid transfer system for transfer of cryogenic hydrocarbon based fluid from a supplying structure to a receiving structure. The fluid transfer system comprises at least one flexible transfer hose for transferring fluid between the supplying structure and the receiving structure, which transfer hose(s) comprises a first hose portion having a first hose end for fluid communicating connection with the supplying structure and a second hose portion having a second hose end for fluid communicating connection with the receiving structure,and where the other of the two ends of the second hose portion is arranged in fluid communication with the end of the first hose portion other than the first hose end,a support structure for supporting the at least one transfer hose, wherein the support structure comprises a column and a support arm, at least one transfer line fixed in one end to a hose end connector unit, which the connector unit is connected in fluid communication with the second hose end, and a first vertical positioning means fixed to the support structure, which vertical positioning means is configured to guide the at least one transfer line in order to, during use, vertically position the second hose end and the hose end connector unit towards a corresponding manifold connector in a second connection assembly arranged at the receiving structure. The support arm is pivotally connected to the column. (Figure 1)
摘要:
A coupling device for connecting a first coupling housing (12) and a second coupling housing (20) is provided. The first coupling housing (12) comprises a guiding element (101; 201; 301a-e; 401b,c; 501b-d) extending from the first coupling housing (12) and having a free end (102; 202; P) at a distance (h) from the first coupling housing central axis (a-a). The second coupling housing (20) comprises a receptacle (123; 223; 323; 423; 523) for the guiding element and pull-in means (8) for pulling the guiding element into the receptacle, said pull-in means (8) being connected to the guiding element free end (102; 202; P). The invention allows the first coupling housing to be pulled towards the receptacle at an angle which is not coincident with the central axis (a-a), and when the guiding element is in place inside the receptacle, the first coupling housing central axis (a-a) and the central axis (b-b) of the second coupling housing are aligned and coincident, and the two housings are rotationally aligned.
