It is permanently moored at one point in the Java Sea on this single-buoy mooring. The hull is a large concrete box. The overall dimensions are: length, 460 ft; depth, 56 ft; width, 136 ft; and displacement, about 65,000 tons. Liquefied gas is stored inside a total of twelve tanks, six of which are above-deck. There are an additional six tanks in compartments inside the hull. The volume of gas stored is 375,000 barrels, which is 60,000 cubic meters, or 36,000 tons, at a density of 0.6. There is an accommodations module for forty people and a major liquefaction plant on the stern. Undersea pipelines bring the gas from the wells and up through the single-buoy mooring, through a swivel and onboard. The gas is then processed and liquefied on the stern and stored in these tanks.
