Marine and Offshore > Evolving Designs and Construction Techniques of Floating LNG Terminals©: FSUs and FSRUs

About this Training Course

LNG is the fuel for energy in the present time and for the foreseeable future. This is in response to the risks of climate change and the urgent need for reduction of GHG emissions.

In the interim, the transition from coal and oil – fired power plants to a clean source of energy by using natural gas is an immediate solution. Therefore, the demand for transportation and storage of LNG is increasing progressively year-on-year, despite the temporary setback due to wars and related trade sanctions.

This 3 full-day course is developed with an initiative-taking approach to prepare for countering both present and future challenges in the successful development of offshore gas production, storage, and transportation.

The underlying objectives are:

  1. Gain an understanding of the technologies and competitive designs for FSRUs from the past, present and for future.
  2. Evaluate best LNG Floater options in context of future needs and anticipated demand forecasts.
  3. Identify emerging standards, codes, design criteria and operational flexibilities for the design of futuristic FSUs / FSRUs.
  4. Evaluate impact of designs on in STS transportation.
  5. Evaluate the influence of regulatory regimes and strategies of Oil & Gas Majors, Spot Traders and Storage Terminals.
  6. Explore the potential of digital technologies in enhancement of operational performance for FSRU processes including remote operations.
  7. Learn to incorporate features which make it possible for an FSU / FSRU to be redeployed at another field site with minimal adjustments.

This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format.

Upon completion of the course and review of real-life case studies, the participants would have enhanced their knowledge base and be able to:

  • Comprehend a broad overview of FSRU market segments by geography and their design types & characteristics in context of new developments.
  • Understand the prevailing key design and technology considerations for FSRU design & construction.
  • Identify the critical design requirements, codes and standards which govern FSRU design.
  • Standardise the main CCS, Cryogenic systems, its typical load bearing & sloshing capabilities and flexibilities.
  • Understand emerging design considerations for Hull, Mooring, Swivels & Fluid Transfers Systems and Risers.
  • Understand the importance of Custody Transfer Systems and role of cyber-technologies for export and STS requirements.
  • Develop an overview of a bidding proposal for a FSRU design & development project and the key factors for success.

This course is highly recommended for personnel involved in LNG Tankers, FSRU and FLNG projects who require specific knowledge for taking decisions on suitable design options and technology. This includes:

  • Power Plant Operators and Owners
  • Project Proposals and Bidding Team Members
  • Conceptual Design Engineers, Development Engineers, Engineering & Integration Managers
  • Naval Architects, FSU / FSRU Project Managers
  • Current and future Offshore Installation Managers, Process Engineers, Operations Managers and HUIC (Commissioning) Engineers
  • Intermediate

The course will be delivered in nine modular interactive sessions during the eight hours per day, with coffee & lunch breaks. Individual exercises and group-based case studies are focused on the application of principles and lessons learned during the interactive discussions and presentations.

The participants are expected to study cases and exercises before attending the respective course sessions. Participants are also free to continue discussions with the instructor after the end times of the sessions, if desired.
