Jean Pierre Queau and Leen Poldervaart, Single Buoy Moorings Inc., Monaco
The Soft Quay Mooring LNG system combines known technology and operating experience to enable the offshore industry to affect the offshore transfer of LNG.
Single Buoy Moorings Inc. is experienced in the development, design, supply and operation of Single Point Mooring (SPM) terminals for large tankers and transferring crude oil without building port facilities, and also of Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units.
For the development of concepts for the LNG offshore business, with the standard manifold and mooring equipment on the LNG carrier, side-by-side (SBS) loading is the obvious choice.
