TRELLEBORG’S LNG PORTFOLIO PROVIDES THE IDEAL SOLUTION
FOR SINGAPORE LNG TERMINAL
As the rst open access, multi-user LNG terminal
in Asia, Singapore LNG terminal required the best
in marine fender systems, docking and mooring
equipment and gas transfer technology. Showcasing
the strength of its broad Lique ed Natural Gas (LNG)
portfolio, Trelleborg supplied the terminal’s primary
and secondary LNG berths with a combined docking,
mooring and fender system as well as its SeaTechnik
TM
Ship-Shore Safety Link System (SSL) to monitor the
LNG transfer process.
Located on Jurong Island, the Singapore LNG Terminal,
which of cially opened in February 2014, plays a key
role in supporting the country’s strategy for energy
security, ensuring the nation can import natural gas in
lique ed form from around the world.
Richard Hepworth, President at Trelleborg’s marine
systems operation, said: “The use of LNG is now a
mainstream, commercial reality, as the demand for
energy continues to rise. With natural gas being a
reliable, clean burning fossil fuel and one that is in
plentiful supply, it has become a truly viable,
global resource.
“But given the myriad applications within the
LNG arena, the correct infrastructure is vital to
accommodating varied and speci c requirements.
As such, key components such as fenders, docking
and mooring equipment and transfer systems have a
fundamental role to play.”
“We were delighted to be awarded the contract to work
on Singapore LNG Terminal as it represents such a
prestigious project and a big step forward in evolving
Asia’s energy infrastructure.”
The docking and mooring equipment supplied by
Trelleborg includes Quick Release Hooks (QRHs) and
Capstans, SmartHook® Mooring Load Monitoring
Systems with electric remote release, a Central
Integrated Monitoring System for both the Terminal’s
primary and secondary berths and an Environmental
and Oceanographic Monitoring System, which will
provide key environmental data to terminal operators.
Trelleborg also supplied an advanced SmartDock® Pilot
system which integrates the MetOcean, Environmental,
Mooring and Docking data on a portable GPS/
GLONASS based device for use by the pilots on board
the LNG carriers during the approach, docking and
mooring phases.
Trelleborg supplied the SCK Cell fenders series,
which have a proven track record and remain popular
because of their simplicity, high performance and
strength. They come in a wide range of standard
sizes and are interchangeable with many older cell
fender types.
As the most advanced ship-shore safety link
system available on the market, Trelleborg’s
SeaTechnik
TM
SSL system is certi ed to ATEX and
IECEx standards and is approved to IEC 61508 Safety
Integrity Level 2. Its design ensures Singapore LNG
Terminal can accommodate any visiting LNG carrier,
maximising the e xibility of the terminal.
