Résumé

Future development of LNG projects, whether for export or import facilities, in sheltered or harsh environments (in term of marine and meteorological conditions) rely on the ability of the LNG Industry actors to bring innovative technical solutions to tackle the problem of LNG transfer in open sea. Since there is a spectrum of offshore LNG transfer solutions in development, cryogenic flexible hose based LNG transfer systems appear to answer the LNG Industry requirements in term of performances. The full-scale LNG trials to be performed at the Gaz de France Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG receiving terminal are the last stage of a complete and serious development of such solution. These industrial trials are part of a whole qualification process managed by a certification organism through a recognised procedure for the qualification of new technology. The amplitude-LNG loading system has been under development for the past six years and is now at the edge to demonstrate its performances for LNG transfer in dynamic conditions with significant wave height up to 5.5 m.
