<p>A system of the type wherein LNG from a tanker ( 30 ) is offloaded to a moored vessel ( 16 ), which has a regas unit ( 36 ) which heats the LNG to transform it into gaseous hydrocarbons, and which has a pump unit ( 38 ) that pumps the gaseous hydrocarbons to a consumer ( 46 ) such as an onshore gas distribution facility. The system is constructed to enable more rapid tanker unloading so the tanker is released earlier to sail back to a pickup location. The moored vessel has a thermally insulated LNG storage facility such as LNG tanks ( 100 ), with a capacity to store all LNG not regassed during offloading of the tanker. The regas unit has sufficient capacity to regas all LNG received in one tanker load, before the tanker returns with another load of LNG.</p> |
