  • Publication number: 20230147054
    Abstract: A drag-reducing separator plate for a moonpool, wherein the upper part thereof is a straight wall perpendicular to the sea level, the lower part thereof is connected to a baffle, and a connecting portion is connected between the straight wall and the baffle. The connecting portion may be in the shape of an arc. The shape of the drag-reducing separator plate matches that of the rear wall of the moonpool. During navigation, the drag-reducing separator plate is located in the middle or front of the moonpool, and can cooperate with a drag-reducing notch on the rear wall of the moonpool to greatly reduce the drag induced by intense sloshing of water in the moonpool during navigation of an offshore vessel. When offshore operations are performed under a station keeping condition, the drag-reducing separator plate is moved to the rear wall of the moonpool to avoid hindering the offshore operations.

  • Publication number: 20220289343
    Abstract: A floating dockable liquefied natural gas supply station, comprising: a main hull, a bottom base and a positioning system. The bottom base comprises a base plate or at least two base plates. The base plate is securely connected to a lower lateral side of the main hull by means of a splicing securing system. Therefore, the main hull and the bottom base of the floating dockable liquefied natural gas supply station can be assembled in a modular manner. It is possible to individually construct the main hull and bottom base of the floating dockable liquefied natural gas supply station, and to then use a modular method for connecting and assembling same on the ocean or on land, thus being able to flexibly form various types and dimensions of supply station, allowing for docking transport vessels accommodating various loading capacities of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and reducing the construction cost thereof.
