Site Selection and Design for LNG Ports and Jetties (IP no. 14)
This book is aimed at port developers as a guide to the minimum design criteria required when a port is built or altered to accommodate LNG carriers. It contains operational and design considerations before questioning these in the context of the human element. The consequences of collisions and groundings are studied and methods of limiting the effect of such accidents are offered.
This
publication
addresses
safety
issues
for
LNG
ports.
It
focuses
on
eliminating
spillages
at
both
the
ship/shore
interface
and
navigational
approach
channels.
The
book
outlines
the
way
forward
for
site
selection
of
LNG
terminals,
establishes
a
basis
for
safe
jetty
design
and
considers
the
safety
factors
in
the
port
approach.
It
also
considers
the
existing
industry
guidelines
that
cover
cargo
operations
at
the
ship/shore
interface.
It
is
suggested
that
LNG’s
excellent
safety
record
is
owing
to
the
existing
standards
being
adopted.
As
the
industry
becomes
more
widespread,
continuing
success
will
depend
not
only
on
better
acceptance
of
the
existing
standards
but
also
on
future
improvements.
Some
of
the
newer
aspects
are
described
and
a
checklist
can
be
found
in
the
appendix.
