摘要：The issue of the required LNG storage facilities at the terminals is mainly dependent on the weather conditions which may restrict the vessel’s approach to the loading terminal and on the sea and ice conditions along the shipping route. Storms and heavy ice condition may result in considerable delays in the planned voyage schedules. Some of the weather delays can be compensated by the sea margin, when the ship sails faster in order to catch up with the schedule. This scientifi c paper discusses the issues related to transshipment and loading of LNG at the terminals exposed to severe weather conditions.
