Problems solved by technology

[0008] From the above problems, it is obvious that the current old tonnage ships are not suitable for retrofitting into LNGC capable of liquefaction due to many of the disadvantages mentioned above, and newbuild ships designed to maximize cargo space do not have the load capacity required for liquefaction equipment

Embodiment Construction

[0020] A natural gas liquefaction vessel is described. In the following exemplary descriptions, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one of ordinary skill in the art, that the present invention may be practiced in all aspects without incorporating the specific details set forth herein. In other instances, specific features, quantities or measurements that are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention. The reader should note that while examples of the invention are set forth herein, the metes and bounds are defined by the claims, along with their full scope of any equivalents.

[0021] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to...

Abstract

A natural gas liquefaction vessel including an increased deadweight tonnage, as compared to a liquefied natural gas carrier (LNGC) of a comparably-sized ship, is achieved by reducing the LNGC's cargocapacity. This difference creates room on the port and starboard sides of cargo tanks to increase the size of the adjacent wing tanks. The increased size of the wing tanks occupy the space created bythe reduced cargo tank size of the vessel and may- support a larger upper trunk deck. The ballast wing tanks and smaller cargo tanks increase the deadweight available. With this approach, the larger upper trunk deck of the vessel is able to support an efficient floating liquefaction plant that improves the LNG value chain because it is capable of producing 2.0 - 3.0 MTPA in the footprint of a standard vessel hull, such as for example a Q-Max hull

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention described herein relate to the field of marine liquefaction of natural gas. More specifically, but without limitation, one or more embodiments of the present invention describe a natural gas liquefaction vessel. Background technique [0002] Natural gas is typically transported by pipeline from the point of production to the point of consumption. However, large quantities of natural gas are sometimes produced in regions or countries where production far exceeds demand, and it may not be feasible to transport the gas by pipeline to the location of commercial demand, for example because the production site and the location of demand are separated by oceans or rainforests. Without an efficient way to deliver natural gas to locations where there is commercial demand, the opportunity to make money with natural gas can be lost. [0003] The liquefaction of natural gas is beneficial to the storage and transportation of natural g...
