Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A liquefied natural gas (LNG) sump is provided for a gravity based structure (GBS). The sump includes a sump containment structure having a predetermined volume and floor surface area. The volume and floor surface area are selected in order to allow spilled LNG contained within the sump containment structure to vaporize at a predetermined, safe rate. A trough is provided for collecting spilled LNG on the GBS, such as at the processing area and on a jetty, and delivering the spilled LNG to the sump containment structure.
