[0002] As the international community's demand for clean energy continues to rise, the LNG industry is developing vigorously, and LNG ships are becoming more and more popular in the shipping market. As a result, the frequency of LNG ships being repaired in shipyards is increasing. The LNG liquid cargo pump is a key core equipment in the liquid cargo tank of LNG transport ships. It is expensive and requires high assembly precision. At the same time, it requires regular inspection and maintenance, and is a must-check item in LNG ship repair projects.

[0003] During the dock repair at the shipyard, when the LNG submersible pump is overhauled, the liquid cargo pump must first be lifted from the LNG cargo tank to the ground in a vertical state, and then transferred to a clean, dust-free, constant temperature and humidity workshop for maintenance. For general ship machinery vertical equipment during transportation or storage, for safety reasons, it is often flipped to a horizontal position and fixed to a flatbed truck with a chain hoist or nylon straps. However, the LNG liquid cargo pump is generally composed of a guide wheel, an impeller, a rotor shaft and rotor, a stator, bearings, end covers, a pump casing, a junction box, etc. Due to its unique structural characteristics, in order to avoid tilting or violent shaking of the pump body during the horizontal placement or flipping of the equipment, which may easily cause damage to the pump body, pump shaft, bearings or internal cables, therefore, during the transportation, storage, and dismantling process, it is necessary to comprehensively consider its placement method, position, and transportation stability.
