Abstract

Η παρούσα εφεύρεση αφορά σε ένα σύστημα για πρόσδεση ενός πλωτού πλοίου σε ανοικτή θάλασσα, χρησιμοποιώντας μια ημι-βυθιζόμενη πλωτή νηοδόχο. Το σύστημα είναι ειδικά κατάλληλο για δεξαμενόπλοια που μεταφέρουν υγρό φυσικό αέριο σε κρυογόνο μορφή που μπορεί να είναι μια επικίνδυνη ουσία στο χειρισμό της και έτσι προτιμούνται υπεράκτια τερματικά. Το σύστημα περιλαμβάνει μια ημι-βυθιζόμενη πλωτή νηοδόχο (1) για να δέχεται ένα πλοίο (10) και ένα σύστημα σημειακής πρόσδεσης (5), με ένα άκαμπτο βραχίονα (3) μεταξύ των δύο. Η νηοδόχος (1) συνδέεται περιστροφικά σε ένα βραχίονα (3).Το σύστημα σημειακής πρόσδεσης (5) περιλαμβάνει ένα πλωτήρα πρόσδεσης (17) που ασφαλίζεται στο βυθό της θάλασσας με σύστημα εύκαμπτης αγκύρωσης τέτοιο όπως ένα αριθμό αλυσοειδών σκελών αγκύρωσης (15). Αυτό επιτρέπει κατακόρυφη κίνηση του πλωτήρα πρόσδεσης (17) αλλά περιορίζει την κίνηση σε μια σχετικά μικρή στήλη νερού.The present invention relates to a system for mooring a floating ship in the open sea, using a semi-submersible floating dinghy. The system is especially suitable for tankers carrying liquid natural gas in cryogenic form which can be a dangerous substance to handle and thus offshore terminals are preferred. The system comprises a semi-submersible floating barge (1) to receive a ship (10) and a point mooring system (5), with a rigid arm (3) between the two. The riser (1) is rotatably connected to an arm (3). The point mooring system (5) comprises a mooring float (17) which is secured to the seabed by a flexible anchor system such as a number of anchor chain links (15). This allows vertical movement of the mooring float (17) but limits the movement to a relatively small column of water.
