Bahía Blanca GasPort(Argentina)
• Dockside LNG regasification Utilizes ship-to-ship LNG
transfer with continuous natural gas send out
Capable of 400 mmscfd throughput (closed-loop mode)
Provides seasonal service during Argentine winter
• Short development time and low cost Final investment decision to in-
service in less than 6 months Fixed facilities cost <5% of a
land-based LNG terminal
• Project partners are YPF and Repsol-Gas Natural

• Developed with partners Exmar NV / Exmar Offshore USA Skaugen PetroTrans
• STS Operation must meet applicable standards IMO - Gas code Class approvals by BV for LNG-RV’s, focus unrestricted liquid levels /
all shipboard systems. IACS rules for LNGC: - Liquid level restrictions due to sloshing loads OCIMF / SIGTTO
○ Ship to Ship Transfer Guide (Liquefied Gases) Second Edition / Draft LNG STS Transfer Guidelines
○ SIGTTO LNG specific STS Transfer Considerations
USCG: 33 CFR 156 Subpart B and C EN 1474 - 2 standards for cryogenic transfer systems

LNG STS TransferInitial Engineering & Feasibility
• By BUREAU VERITAS Target: assess measurable operational criteria to avoid sloshing
damage in LNG-C due to any level of partial filling during LNG transfer
Conclusion: LNG-C maximum roll angle 2° ; keep heading +/-30° into direction of significant waves
Hs < 2.0 m
• BY GTT Target: determine the maximum LNG transfer flow rate
compatible with the treatment capacity of the increased Boil-Off Gas (BOG)
Conclusion: Up to 6,000 m3/h with 60 mbar cargo tank pressure difference between LNG-RV and LNG-C
