This VILT will explore the key components, design codes, parameters and configurations in offshore LNG transfer technologies and allow attendees to:

• Learn about LNG storage & loading systems in terms of safety and process constraints
• Know the technical specifications of the different offshore LNG transfer technologies available on the market
• Explore the key parameters and the different configurations of each technology solution
• Understand the technical challenges in offshore LNG transfer
• Learn the main constraints in terms of marine operations
• Know the design codes and design parameters of LNG lines, pumps, vapor return & boil-off gas handling
• Understand the qualification process steps of new transfer technology
• Acquire the basis for performing the selection of the most appropriate offshore transfer system relative to a specific project

After participation, the VILT will allow the attendees to:

• Have a better understanding of integration studies for FLNG
• Understand a qualification process plan for new technologies in LNG transfer
• Manage technical and strategic considerations for new FLNG projects
