Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method and a harbour plant for mooring a floating body. The harbour plant includes a piled base structure provided with two upwards through sea level projecting sidewalls terminated above sea level and a laterally arranged bottom structure interconnecting the sidewalls, where a top surface of the bottom structure is arranged at a depth allowing the floating body to be floated in between the sidewalls, and where the floating body is arranged to be rigidly, but releasably supported by at least parts of the sidewalls. The method includes bringing the floating body into a position between the sidewalls and fixing rigidly the floating body to the vertical sidewalls of the base structure and still exposing the floating body more or less fully to buoyancy by allowing a water-filled gap at least between bottom of the floating body and a corresponding upper surface of the base structure.

Abstract: A shallow water seabed terminal for storing and loading or unloading hydrocarbons, such as LNG, oil or gas, includes a removable floatable module and a removable seabed substructure intended to be supported by a seabed. The floatable module is releasably fixed to the seabed substructure so that a harbour terminal is formed. The seabed substructure includes a base structure provided with buoyancy devices, a wall structure extending upwardly from the base structure and arranged along at least a part of the periphery of the base structure. The base structure is also provided with an opening in the wall structure for allowing the floatable module to be berthed in and supported by the seabed substructure. The base structure is provided with a submerged beam or base slab structure which extends laterally out from the vertical wall structure and is configured to support the floatable module.

Abstract: The publication relates to a shallow water seabed terminal (40) for storing and loading or unloading hydrocarbons, such as LNG, oil or gas, comprising a floatable, removable module (20), and a removable seabed substructure (10) intended to be supported by a seabed (19), the floatable module (20) being releasably fixed to the seabed substructure (10) so that a harbour terminal is formed, the seabed substructure (10) comprises a base structure (11) provided with buoyancy devices, an upwards extending wall structure (12) extending up from the base structure (11) and arranged along at least a part of the periphery of the base structure (11), the base structure also being provided with an opening (18) in the wall structure (12) for allowing the floatable module (20), to be berthed in and supported by the seabed substructure (10).
