evaluation of the technical options available, the SPB LNG tank technology has been retained for the storage of liquefied gas. Te choice was driven by considerations such as accessibility for maintenance, robustness, and therefore long-term offshore life availability, and re-deployability. Tis hull can be adapted to also suit


the requirements for floating storage and regasification units (FSRU) for which demand is expected to grow with the LNG market. An agreement has now been signed


between SBM and IHI shipyard of Japan, for the detailed engineering and the further construction of LNG hulls. SBM has funded IHI to develop the basic design of a 230,000m3 H-link connector.

Capabilities Te Linde Multi-stage Mixed Refriger- ant (LiMuM) process has been selected for the liquefaction system based on its thermodynamic efficiency, robust design, compactness, and proven performance. Te FPSO facility will be able to treat, fractionate, liquefy, store, and export the LNG as well as any by-products from the gas field production, such as LPG and condensates.

Going Deeper... As operators go to greater depths beyond 3000m (10,000ft), so the practical and economic demands of deploying mooring lines are driving new developments in deepwater fibre rope and rope-rope, rope-chain and rope-wire connectors. Deeper moorings place greater emphasis on the engineering integrity of the mooring
