DEVICE FOR FLOATING PRODUCTION OF LNG AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING A LNG-CARRIER TO SUCH A DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for floating production of LNG. The device comprises a LNG carrier comprising a ship hull (12) and at least one spherical LNG storage tank (13) for storing LNG, a projecting hull structure (16) fixed to the ship hull (12), a LNG production system (17) for converting natural gas to LNG, where the LNG production system is arranged in the projecting hull structure (16) and means for transferring LNG from the LNG production system (17) to the at lest one spherical LNG storage tank (13). The invention also relates to a method for converting an LNG-carrier to a device for floating production of LNG.
