      <title>ASPECTS OF LNG TANKER LOADING FROM OFFSHORE PRODUCTION PLATFORMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/73353</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Construction of natural gas liquefaction plants on offshore platforms located in the Continental Shelf areas poses the problem of tanker-loading with LNG in the open sea.  And the technical solutions gained over a number of years in the offshore transfer of crude oil are only partially applicable to LNG.  The major difference lies in the very low temperature ( - 160 degree C, - 250 degree F) of LNG, which means that the transfer lines must be insulated.  This article discusses the technical and economical aspects of an LNG transfer system.]]></description>

      <title>SITUATION ON THE LNG TANKER MARKET</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/61123</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The present as well as future demand for LNG tankers basically depends on the needs for natural gas, which will increasingly have to be met by LNG imports, and also on the distance between the points of production and consumption. The author does not consider short and medium-term prospects for the LNG tanker market as good but sees an upsurge in LNG shipments by tanker in the long run that will be further strengthened by larger shipping distances.  The current long-term contracts for overseas LNG shipments are surveyed, and a breakdown of the existing and contracted LNG tanker fleet by single building countries is given for 1976 and 1977.]]></description>

      <title>OFFSHORE NATURAL GAS LIQUEFACTION IN THE NORTH SEA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/61129</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Pipeline transport of natural gas from remote offshore fields -- especially in deep waters -- is either questionable from the technical and economic standpoint or not feasible at all.  This article deals with the offshore natural gas liquefaction technology which does not rely on pipelining and which permits a high mobility in natural gas production and transportation while improving the break-even point for small, marginal fields.  The offshore LNG system discussed here consists of the following components: (1) Natural gas liquefier and tank storage, (2) Mobile platforms for water depths up to 180 meters, and (3) LNG transfer system and 50,000-cu-meter LNG tankers.]]></description>

      <title>LNG TRANSPORT IN PRESTRESSED CONCRETE SHIPS AND BOTH SAFETY AND ECONOMY AS ILLUSTRATED BY THE EXAMPLE OF A 128,000-CU-M-TANKER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53231</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article deals with a new way of transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a prestressed concrete ship with self-propulsion, in which the insulated tanks are integrated into the hull, as distinguished from the conventional LNG carrier design (single hull concept).  Operational and safety advantages of this novel design approach are discussed, and it is shown that the construction and operating costs of the prestressed concrete carrier are lower than those of conventional ships of this type.]]></description>

      <title>MULTI-VESSEL-TANK (MVT) FOR SEABORNE TRANSPORTATION OF LIQUEFIED GASES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19305</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Messrs. Linde AG have developed the new Multi Vessel Tank System, called MVT.  It consists of a large number of cylindrical vessels which are calculated, manufactured and tested according to well-known methods.  This system is a specially safe one, as in case of damages to the ship only the contents of the directly damaged cylinders can leak out. Further advantages of this MVT system are the following: Simple ship hull, choice of any size of ships possible, good utilization of the loading space, mounting of the insulation to the warm walls of the ship, possibility to mount the cold part outside of the dockyard by means of light lifting equipment.]]></description>

      <title>ROLL-OVER AND THERMAL OVERFILL IN FLAT BOTTOM, LNG TANKS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19313</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As a result of the numerous LNG-facilities presently under study in Germany, design aspects and operating experience of LNG tanks are of interest not only to companies with immediate plans for such facilities, but also to the gas industry in general.  One phenomenon, the sudden venting of gas from LNG tanks, has elicited varying interpretations with the result that "roll-over" and "thermal overfill" phenomena have not been well understood.  This article provides a better understanding of the phenomena and the terminology.]]></description>

      <title>BOILING LIQUEFACTION ON LARGE CAPACITY LNG TANKERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/18402</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is transported in large capacity tankers at a temperature of approximately -162 C.  Due to heat radiation into the insulated cargo tanks, part of the cargo is evaporating.  This boil-off gas is normally burned in the ship's boiler as fuel.  But in general, the sales price for LNG is higher than that of usual ships' fuel.  The present paper intends to find out, whether this price difference enables an economic reliquefaction; technical and economical aspects of this new procedure are being discussed.]]></description>

      <title>WIRE ROPE IN MARINE ENGINEERING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/12442</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Very extreme operating conditions of wire rope and/or cables in marine technology can be assigned to the following fields:  Mechanics, electrical engineering, hydraulics, pneumatics, hydrostatics, biology, chemistry, raw materials, cable construction.  Descriptions of already constructed submarine cables for marine technology demonstrate the range of variability of these cables.  In the same way the limits of cable-applicability in the oceanographic field are indicated and explained.]]></description>
