Framework for simulating LNG ports
Authors: Piero Silva, Adrien Leleu, Edwin Valentin
Abstract
LNG ports are often located at very remote locations and have a dedicated function of exporting product to markets worldwide. Vessels are dedicated to routes between ports and often are part of the investment. These are just a couple of the characteristics of a LNG exporting port. Due to these specific characteristics the design and simulation of such a port is different from a normal maritime port. In this paper we identify a set of attention points that need to be considered and help to perform a simulation study for a LNG port. We have applied these attention points to a new LNG port in Yemen and describe the results and the advantages of following these additional processes in an early stage of the simulation study..
