Design and Construction Records of the Latest LNG Receiving Facilities

Abstract

The second berth for LNG tankers has been constructed at Senboku LNG terminal II of Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. to meet its increasing demands of LNG reception. In the course of design and construction, much efforts have been made to reduce skill requirement, to save cost, and to realize safety.
Actually in our practice, an automatic unloading arms operation system was developed for skill free and safety operation. In the construction of marine pipe racks and working platform, prefab method was introduced transporting pre-assembled elements from the manufacturer's factory by sea for cost saving. In the land area, LNG unloading pipe line was laid in culvert for farther safety. This report presents the overview of the engineering records of the second berth.
