Höegh LNG will take redelivery of the vessel at the end of 2014,after which Gas Natural will havean option to extend the charterperiod for up to an additional

12 months.LNG Libra has been on charter

to Gas Natural since last April foroperation between Trinidad andthe import terminal at Escobar, Ar-

Norway’s Knutsen OAS has beenselected to manage two of fournewbuildings expected to be or-dered for Stream LNG, the jointventure company of Spanish majorGas Natural Fenosa and Repsol.The other two will be managed bySpanish shipping company Elcano.

Knutsen OAS Shipping has offi-cially signed two time charter par-ties with Gas NaturalAprovisionamient SDG, for a char-ter period of 20 years, after whichthe charterer will have options toextend the charter for two periodsof five years successively.

Knutsen OAS signed the deal onbehalf of its two new Ship OwningCompanies, Norspan LNG IX AS andNorspan LNG X AS.

The two identical sister shipswill have a capacity of 176,300cbmeach, and be designed to sailthrough the newly expandedPanama channel, opening in 2015.

“As you may know, all our LNGvessels comes with Norspan LNGand then a sequential number.Accordingly these will be vesselnos. 9 and 10,” said JohannesBrynjulvsen, general manager,newbuilding and projects, for

Knutsen OAS.The vessels, HHI hull numbers

22733 and 22734, will be built bythe shipyard for delivery in the

third and fourth quarter of 2016. A shipbuilding contract is

expected to be signed by the endof the week. �

Nikolai Grigoriev, managing direc-tor, shipping & logistics, GazpromMarketing & Trading, said Lenariver is technically capable ofmeeting all the regulatory require-ments for safe transit of the route.

“Any vessel that travelsthrough the NSR has to complywith Northern Sea Route Adminis-tration rules, including communi-cation, emergency response plansand equipment, pilotage, crewtraining and experience. Shouldwe deploy the Lena River on avoyage through the NSR, we will,of course, meet all the require-ments of the NSR Administration.”

Open navigation is the likelytime of transit for the vessel.

“Lena River’s specifications allowher to be deployed on voyagesthrough the NSR during open navi-gation,” he explained, adding,

“The historic voyage of the ObRiver in October-November lastyear has proven the technical fea-sibility of this route. However, anydecision to do so for future car-goes on the Lena River will be determined by safety and com-mercial considerations.”

While proposed LNG carrierdesigns by Bureau Veritas includeice breaking capabilities on theLNG carriers, Gazprom’s new LNGcarrier in common with other arc-tic LNG carriers is not adapted forthis purpose.

“The Lena River does not haveice breaking capability and we arenot aware of any LNGC that doesat the current time. “ �

The technology partner, KoreanShipyard DSME will use its LNGshipbuilding knowledge to help es-tablish a high-tech arctic shipbuild-ing and industrial location by 2016.

The latest MOU combines Russian gas major Rosneft, withRussia's largest shipping company,Sovcomflot, and the financial arm of LNG fleet owning majorGazprom, Gazprombank.

Plans for upgrading the existingZvezda shipyard have been in theworks since at least 2007, whenJSC United Shipbuilding Corpora-tion (USC) was established by pres-idential decree with the intentionof potentially building LNG carriersin Russia for the first time.

Zvezda-DSME, a joint venturecompany of DSME and USC, won itsfirst shipbuilding contract for 12 oilcarriers for Sovcomflot in 2010.

This MOU comes on the back ofan announcement in June fromGazprom Marketing & Trading that ithoped to team up and help to revivethe Russian shipbuilding industry.

Gazprom Marketing and Tradingsigned the June strategic partner-ship with USC, involving RussianMaritime Register of Shipping (RS),Sovcomflot (SCF), to build 13 shipsat Zvezda.

Russian gas major Rosneft said itwill use the new arctic shipyard torealise its programme to developoffshore projects in Russian waterson the Northern and Far East seas.

Pipeline talks continueThe MOU was signed last weekduring a visit of Russian President

Vladimir Putin to Korean presidentPark Geun-hye in South Korea’scapital.

In the meanwhile, there werediscusssions for building a gaspipeline from gas-rich Russia toSouth Korea, which has orderedspot cargoes in recent months,Reuters reported.

21 November 2013 LNG Unlimited NEWS � 5Trelleborg puts spotlight onFSRU mooring challenges

At the moment, in some applica-tions, jetty and FSRU operatorsare both capable of releasing themooring lines attached to an FSRUwhen it is moored between a jettyand an LNGC in ship-to-ship of-floading configuration.

“The challenge is that youneed to control those mooringhooks from the jetty, but youwouldn’t want to release the FRSUin the middle inadvertently withthe LNGC still moored,” saidTraylen.

“You have to control the re-lease in a certain sequence in co-operation with the LNGC”.

“You may want to release theLNGC bow mooring first, assistedby a tugboat, then you might wantto release those lines from themidships of the FSRU, and finallyrelease the stern lines.”

“The thrust of that webinar is really raising awareness aboutthese compound mooring situa-tions,” emphasied Traylen,adding, “Mooring tension and remote release systems shouldbe considered with a holistic approach so that there is one

set of information available to allthe entities.“

Optimal emergency re-lease means cooperationat build stageThe lack of mooring integrationcomes from having different sup-pliers that are not coordinating it,said Traylen.

“The EPC is given the job ofbuilding the jetty and the shipyardis given the job of building theFSRU and LNG carrier mooring. Theproblem is that the emergency re-lease systems of both need to befunctioning in tandem.”

“In the case of FSRU termi-nals,the owner operator for theregasification facility needs to beaware of the complexities whendealing with compound moorings.”

“The choice of where to putthe integrated emergency con-trols will depend on the engineer-ing of that individual terminal”,Traylen said.

“If your FSRU is where the operators are based because on of an unmanned jetty, that’swhere most of the release opera-

tions are managed”.“There are situations where

they need to manage the opera-tions either from the jetty side orFSRU side, and in Trelleborg’s op-timal configuration, you can man-age from either the FSRU or theJetty,” said Traylen.

Controls and mooringequipment, integratedTrelleborg have for many years offered emergency release acti-vated, mooring equipment in itsSmartHook range targeting jettyoperators.

Trelleborg last year introducedtwo new segments targeting theFSRU/LNGC market with the ac-quisition of SeaTechnik, a providerof ship-to-shore safety controlsand hardware.

The Seatechnik SSL Link is nowinstalled on more than 90 percentof the active LNGC fleet, as wellas 100 percent of FSRU and regasterminals, said Trelleborg.

“The SSL link is used to com-municate data as well as commu-nicate data signals but it’s also anelement in transmitting the datain these entities between theFSRU and jetty and FSRU andLNGC,” said Traylen. �

With the growing use of floating LNG terminals, the industry needs to decide who

controls the emergency mooring release systems between terminal and jetty,

Trelleborg explained in its new webinar. “It’s critical that they control release from

one system to prevent releasing the FSRU before the LNGC,” said Alistair Traylen,

chief systems architect at Trelleborg Marine Systems.

MHI to offerfuel savingsoftwareJapanese Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Japanese ITmultinational NEC Corpora-tion have announced a part-nership to develop a DemandForecast System for Ships tosave fuel for ships for launchin March 2015.

Energy Demand ForecastSystem for Ships will projectfuture fuel demand to decrease operational costsfor ships, and potential emis-sions reduction.

NEC's proprietary forecast-ing technology will be used toautomatically detect patternshidden in “big data” of shipfuel consumption. Calcula-tions will be based on previ-ously collected data relatingto ships' energy consumption,weather patterns, ambientair temperature, and time of day.

Operators will be able touse it to control of the oper-ating ratios of a ship's engineand power generators, aswell as the number of unitsto be in operation, based onhighly precise energy demandforecasts.

MHI plans to propose theEnergy Demand Forecast System for Ships, along withits independently developedMitsubishi Air Lubrication System (MALS) for application in new shipconstruction and in existingvessels upgrades.

MALS is a proprietary MHIsystem in which air is blownfrom blowers installed at theship's bottom, creating alayer of fine air bubbles thatcover the vessel bottom likea carpet. This configurationreduces frictional resistancebetween the ship hull andseawater as the ship cruises,realizing energy savings andcurbing CO2 emissions. �
