Abstract
Systems and methods for dockside regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are described herein. The methods include providing LNG from a LNG carrier to a regasification vessel. The LNG may be regasified on the regasification vessel. The regasified natural gas may be discharged with a high pressure arm to a dock and delivered onshore. The regasification vessel may be moored to the dock. The LNG carrier may be moored to the regasification vessel or the dock.
Claims6
A method for quick release of a conduit comprising:
- measuring a distance between a sending location (10) and a receiving location (14) using a first transponder (80) on the sending location (10) and a second transponder (80) on the receiving location (14), wherein the sending location (10) and the receiving location (14) are coupled to a conduit (52), wherein the conduit (52) comprises an emergency release coupling (ERC) (500);
- sending a radio signal to the ERC (500) when the measured distance deviates from at least one preset parameter;
- and
- pneumatically actuating the ERC (500) upon receipt of the radio signal, wherein actuating the ERC (500) decouples the conduit (52).
