Baseload LNG plants with spherical storage tanks, all built as very large modules (in German)

Moss Rosenberg's experience in building LNG tanker ships led the company to investigate barge-mounted LNG plants as well. A floating plant could represent an attractive option in situations where the gas fields to be exploited lie far offshore or where harbor conditions are extremely inhospitable. Probably the best way to construct the plant would be to complete the process section in a shipyard, tow it on the barge to the site, ground the barge in an excavated dock, and finish building the LNG plant with the barge serving as its foundation. Moss-Rosenberg describes two projects it has recently considered and examines the main advantages and disadvantages of barge-mounted plants.
