LNG Export

Demand for LNG trading has increased dramatically over the last decade. From 2009 to 2018, there have been 184 more trading routes and an additional 20 importing countries; this means populations are demanding more energy and customer diversity is increasing.

The largest exporters globally are Qatar, Australia, USA, Russia and Malaysia, accounting for more than half of the world’s export in 2019. LNG export from developing countries paves the way for a stronger local economy and sustainable development.

UTS - Offloading

Roughly 10-20hrs for loading and discharge

    • Process system will be sized according to the flow rate requirements of the client.
    • The time frame for loading and discharge is roughly 15-25 hrs depending on large or small-scale application.
    UTS - Ballast system

    Fully redundant ballast system

      • The ballast system enables the unit to follow the carrier vessel vertically during loading and unloading.
      • Remotely operated by the operator onshore.
      • 100% redundancy ensures that any single failure event does not delay the operation.
      UTS - Wave height

      Operational in significant wave height of 2 meters

        • The platform is optimised for minimum wave response, with extensive numerical and experimental modelling and research.
        • The vacuum attachment system further reduces motions when attached to the carrier vessel.
        UTS - Umbilical

        Power and signals via umbilical

          • A robust flexible floating umbilical provides power, signals and communication to the IQuay platform.
          • The umbilical runs parallel to the floating hoses, and can be reeled.
          • The IQuay platform is equipped with a UPS, which will keep critical systems live in case of loss of power from shore.
          UTS - Minimum boil-off gas

          Minimum boil-off gas generation

            • Due to the superior insulation properties of the floating hoses, the boil off generation throughout the system is minimal.
            • Rigid piping and valves on the platform are also insulated to further reduce heat inleak.
            UTS - Safety

            Focus on Safety

              • The platform is equipped with an industry standard ship-shore-link system, which interlinks the ESD systems of the carrier vessel, the IQuay platform, and the terminal.
              • Fire, smoke and gas detectors are located throughout the unit, which will instantly trigger ESD and shut down process flow.

              We are dedicated to realising and
              de-risking your marine infrastructure project

              ECOnnect Energy was born from first-hand experience with the challenges and inefficiencies of traditional LNG offloading methods from ship to shore. Our core offerings remove the need for fixed and permanent infrastructure such as quays, jetties, trestle structures and loading platforms.

              Dredging, which is expensive and damaging to coastal areas, can be eliminated with ECOnnect’s floating jettyless transfer solution.
