Development of offshore LNG Transfer
Present application: Supply LNG to
regasification vessels
Side-by-side loading is sufficient
Future application: Transfer from
floating liquefaction units to carriers
Other configurations needed for
offloading in severe environment
Subject of development: Multi composite hose needs to be justified as
a reliable and safe principle for side by side transfer of LNG
Feasibility study: LNG Test and Technology Centre
-concluded in September 2009-
Start feasibility study LNG Test and Technology Centre:
• Partly funded by the Dutch Maritime Innovation Program
Subject:
• Determine size, content, economic and financial feasibility
Focus group:
• International Operators
• Offshore suppliers
• Shipping
• Small scale supply chain
• New applications: Heavy Duty Transport (e.g. river shipping)
Feasibility study: LNG Test and Technology CentreResults
Moving LNG towards offshore
• Minimum footprint
• Reduction of weight
• Effects of motion
Offshore towards LNG
• Large scale gas production
• Cryogenic equipment
• Liquefaction complexity
Downstream towards upstream• Close to reservoir• Integrated pre-processing, • Liquefaction and storage• Offshore offloading• Partly filled ship containment
Onshore towards floating safety• Gas hazards on floating unit• Safety zones and blast protection

Feasibility study: LNG Test and Technology Centre
Background:
• Need for developing knowledge basis on LNG and the ability to
test with LNG ( Dutch offshore industry )
• Need for connection to the “Dutch gas roundabout ambition”
• H.E. Maria van der Hoeven, Minister of Energy and
Economic Affairs:
• “In the field of LNG we aim to play a distinctive role
extending our position as an important gas
roundabout to include LNG facilities. We need experts
to help us realise this. To promote a high standard of
research, we are looking into the possibility of
establishing an international, independent LNG
research centre in the Netherlands. A decision will be
taken in the very near future".
• WTG LNG Summit 2008, Rotterdam
LNG Test and Technology Centre
Ambition:
• Supports development of offshore LNG by:
• availability of test sites
• re-development of knowledge
• establish a joint research program
• Strengthens connection of industry and supplying
companies
• Compatible with development of CCS chain and
CO2 ambitions.
Critical success factor:
• Permanent LNG test facilities
Targeted location:
• Gasunie peak shaving terminal, Rotterdam,
Europoort, NL
• 100.000 m3 LNG, 19.000 m3 LIN Storage
• BOG compression, high pressure gas
Added value of LNG TTC
• Unique : LNG TTC will be the first all-round LNG Test Center for
Dutch and European Industry.
• GATE project ; LNG terminal will be ready in 2011.
• Strengthens the position of Rotterdam as Energy Port of Europe.
• Overall quote from LNG TTC Consortium
“with LNG TTC we will have LNG Test Facilities nearby and we
will increase LNG expertise and employment in North Western
Europe.”
