Abstract
Typical technical issues associated with Floating LNG (FLNG: FSRU and LNG FPSO) design are categorized in terms of global performance evaluation. Although many proven technologies developed through LNG carrier and oil FPSO projects are available for FLNG design, we are still faced with several technical challenges to clear for successful FLNG projects. In this paper, some of the challenges encountered during development of the floating LNG facility (i.e. LNG FPSO and FSRU) will be reviewed together with their investigated solution. At the same time, research of design improvement including new LNG-related technologies such as combined containment system will be presented to overcome the unrevealed challenges for the FLNG development.
