Definitions

  • the invention relates to shipbuilding and, more specifically, to seagoing bunkering vessels intended for bunkering seagoing ships as well as to liquefied natural gas transportation.
  • the prior art discloses tug/bunker barge combination (TBC) for ship bunkering comprised of a specialized barge rigidly hitched to a tug.
  • the barge is fitted with liquefied natural gas (LNG) containers integrated by the cargo system into a single installation for LNG storage and dispensing to the ship for bunkering - gas fueling of ship's power plants ( WO 2012 074584 ) - prototype.
  • LNG liquefied natural gas
  • a ship having a bridge whose one part consists of a transfer zone for transferring a potentially dangerous liquid product i.e. liquefied natural gas, between a movable supply unit and a liquid storage and/or utilization unit, using a transfer station.
  • the station includes a transfer pipe and fittings.
  • the part comprises a receiving surface for receiving the movable unit, where the bridge presents, below its ground, a storage space for the transfer station.
  • the space is covered with a removable trap door extending in a plane of the ground.
  • US 2012/324910 A1 describes articulated tug and barge arrangements and methods for transportation, storage and regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) aboard barge units and for ballasting the barge units.
  • a barge unit includes a type C tank for the containment of LNG under pressure and a regasification unit fluidly coupled to the type C tank for regasification of LNG aboard the barge unit for offloading natural gas.
  • the barge unit is adapted for loading LNG directly from a liquefaction plant, for transporting LNG by operatively coupling to a tug unit, as well as for storing LNG at a destined off board facility, and for fueling a floating power production facility.
  • the arrangements and methods provide a transport terminal ring.
  • the arrangements and methods provide for the circulation of seawater through the regasification unit and into ballast tanks for ballasting of the barge unit while offloading natural gas.
  • the claimed invention is aimed to improve economic efficiency of the bunker barge vessel by elimination of gas vaporing in the containers and its processing, shortening the process of pressurized LNG transfer during ship bunkering, reducing gas losses at LNG loading and delivery to the bunker vessel due to significant reduction of intermediate cargo operations during LNG loading and delivery to the bunkered ship.
  • the tug/bunker barge combination comprised of the specialized barge articulated to the tug by means of coupling device is equipped with liquefied natural gas containers located on the barge and the cargo system for integrating the said containers into a single installation for LNG storage and dispensing for ship bunkering, wherein according to the invention the LNG containers are made in the form of tanks mounted on the wheeled chassis, which are rolled onto a barge, and then sea fastened on the barge, and connected to the barge cargo system, the barge being fitted with a facility for rolling on the tanks.
  • the barge deck is adapted to allow traveling of wheeled vehicles.
  • the facility for rolling the tanks onto the barge is made in the form of a ramp or bridge located outside of the barge.
  • the barge deck has thermal insulation coating aimed to prevent any damage to the deck by accidental spills of liquefied natural gas.
  • thermal insulation coating has a covering, e.g. of perforated metal plates or metal grillages.
  • Fig.1 shows the tug/bunker barge combination carrying tanks on wheeled chassis
  • Fig.2 shows the integrated cargo system of the tug/bunker barge combination with connected LNG tanks intended for subsequent bunkering (top view in Fir.1).
  • the tug/LNG bunker barge combination including the specialized barge 1articulated to the tug 2 by means of coupling device (not shown in the figure), LNG containers on the barge made in the form of tanks 3 which are positioned on wheeled chassis 4 and rolled onto the barge 1.
  • the tug/LNG bunker barge combination has the cargo system comprised of interconnected pipelines 5 with stop & connecting valves 6 intended for integration of LNG tanks 3 into a single installation for LNG storage and dispensing for ship bunkering. Tanks 3 are connectable to the cargo system.
  • Barge 1 is outfitted with the devices (not shown in the figure) for sea fastening of the wheeled chassis 4 mounted with LNG tanks 3 to be rolled on the barge, and a facility for rolling on the tanks 3 made as the ramp 7 located on the barge, or a shore-based loading bridge located outside the barge 1 (not shown in the figure).
  • the deck of barge 1 is adapted to allow travelling of wheeled vehicles, it is applied with a thermal insulation coating (not shown in the figure) intended to prevent any damage to the deck by accidental spills of liquefied natural gas.
  • the thermal insulation coating has a covering, e.g. of perforated metal plates or metal grillages (not shown in the figure).
  • Pre-filled LNG tanks 3 are rolled on the deck of barge 1 using the wheeled chassis over the ramp 7 or shore-based loading bridge (not shown in the figure), the said tanks are then sea fastened on the deck and connected with the pipelines 5 via stop & connecting valves 6 to the barge cargo systems to integrate the same into a single liquefied natural gas storage system.
  • the cargo system of the bunker barge is mated with the LNG receiving system of the ship to be bunkered, and the full scope of actions for LNG transfer is performed as specified in the operational documentation of the LNG bunker barge and the bunkered gas-fuel ship.
  • the tug/bunker barge Upon completion of the bunkering the tug/bunker barge returns to the berth where the cargo system is ventilated, thereafter the tanks 3 are disconnected from the integrated cargo system of the barge 1, released from sea fastenings and rolled off to the shore.
  • the claimed tug/bunker barge combination provides higher economic efficiency being an advantage as compared with its prototype.
