METHOD FOR CONVERSION OF A TANKER

摘要

A tanker (1) is converted to a floating production ship by a vertical ope ning (1) being cut out in the hull (1) and a cassette-like plate structure ( 7) inserted in the opening. The cassette (7) is composed of plate elements ( 12, 13) which are designed to fit and connect with the cut elements in the h ull's opening. The cassette (7) will thereby form part of the ship's hull st rength. The cassette has a vertical shaft (8) for mounting a turret (14) in/ near the ship's bottom area. The turret (14) is wet- mounted in the shaft.
