Project Description

GRAVITY-BASED LNG TERMINAL

HEC developed a concept design for a gravity-base LNG receiving terminal that could be built in a shipyard using conventional shipbuilding techniques.  HEC’s involvement included selecting the LNG containment system, optimizing the configuration, determining nonlinear wave loadings, designing the structure, and developing construction techniques, schedules, and costs.  As part of the project, we developed curves to aid in the cost estimation of floating LNG storage and regasification facilities.
