FLBT의 Loading Arm 위치에 따른 Operability 평가

Abstract

In this paper, the evaluation on operability of FLBT(Floating LNG Bunkering Terminal) was studied experimentally. Model tests were conducted in KRISO(Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering) ocean engineering basin. FLBT, LNG carrier, and two bunkering shuttles were side-by-side moored with mooring ropes and fenders. Two white-noise wave cases and one irregular wave case were generated. The relative local motions between each LNG loading arm and its corresponding manifold for the initial design configuration were calculated from 6-DoF motions at the center of gravity of four vessels. Then, the locations of LNG loading arms and manifolds were varied in order to minimize the relative local motions.
