Summary

DESCRIPTION OF AN OFFSHORE LPG LOADING/UNLOADING SYSTEM AT 225 K (-48 DEG C), USING A CALM BUOY AND FLOATING HOSES FOR LPG, WORKING UNDER DYNAMIC CONDITIONS AND NOT SHELTERED BY A JETTY OR A PORT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS NEW SYSTEM IS REDUCING INVESTMENT COSTS TO A LARGE EXTENT AND BRINGING MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THE SELECTION OF SITES FOR OFFSHORE TERMINALS. THE MAIN COMPONENTS WERE DESIGNED FOR THE LOADING OF A 75,000 M3 VESSEL WITHIN 15 HRS. THE RESULTS OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC TESTS AT LOW TEMPERATURE ON A KNUCKLE-JOINT FOR CALM BUOY AND THE FLOATING HOSES SHOW THAT THIS TYPE OF TERMINAL IS A REALISTIC SOLUTION. (Bibliogr. int.
