Jettyless energy transfer – the link that is no longer missing


A jettyless transfer system is floating technology that enables safe and efficient transfer of fluids such as LNG, ammonia, bio fuels and CO2 (for carbon capture and storage) between a carrier and an offshore or onshore terminal without a jetty.

The jettyless solution is prefabricated at a shipyard, eliminating the environmental impacts of the time- and resource -intensive construction of a jetty or a quay.

This jettyless innovation is changing the energy import and export landscape, making projects possible without the cost and inflexibility of traditional fixed-jetty infrastructure. Its flexibility and mobility enables energy distribution to areas previously considered infeasible due to high costs or challenging geography.

Not only does the jettyless transfer system contribute to major cost savings when compared to the traditional fixed infrastructure of jetties and quays, it also offers tremendous environmental benefits because it floats - leaving the marine environment where it operates completely untouched.

At ECONNECT Energy we believe that cleaner energy should be cheap and accessible. We make this possible by providing cost-efficient solutions to clients worldwide.

Roughly 15-25hrs 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 hours depending on the scale of the 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 fulfilling your project goals and de-risking your marine infrastructure

              ECONNECT Energy was founded to address 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, and our technology also transfers ammonia and liquid CO₂.

              Dredging and marine construction, which are both expensive and damaging to coastal areas, can be eliminated with ECONNECT Energy’s floating jettyless transfer solution.
