Efficient planning for LNG berths used by modern generation vessels

Efficient planning for LNG berths used by modern generation vessels needs a high level and accumulation of experiences. The planning process should cover the main components for the handling berth as berthing dolphins, mooring dolphins, berthing platform and suitable type of fenders. The planning and design should cover studying all the design forces that affect these items, including the hidden capacities. This efficient planning should cover two international standards. The first is the British standard (BS) and the second one is the (OCIMF, Oil Companies International Marine Forum) international standards for the petroleum companies forum. Applying the specifications for these two standards together, the efficient planning for LNG berths can be obtained. This research deals with that planning details in a simplified procedure, which is easy to follow.
