The ship/shore interface and where the industry meets too Edwin Lampert Chairman, The LNG World Shipping Ship/Shore Interface Conference Group Managing Editor Riviera Maritime Media
W
elcome to the second Riviera Maritime Media LNG Ship/Shore Interface Conference. The focus at our event is of course the ship/shore interface. In other words, the point where LNG carrier and terminal operators meet, where activity levels are at their most intense and where the risks are greatest. This is the point where port approach, berthing, mooring and cargo transfer procedures and equipment are tested against a background of powerful safety and commercial considerations. We are also focused on ensuring that this is a forum where industry connects too. We have recruited Chris Clucas, Corporate Expert – Liquefied Gas, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, to serve as conference chairman for the two days. We are also debuting a new interactive application that will allow delegates to fire questions – anonymously if you wish – during the sessions. The system is easy to use and we urge you all to take advantage of the opportunity it presents. Our conference begins with a market update which will take in key industry developments and the all-important newbuilding orderbook. A complete LNG projects update follows. Session two looks at innovations at terminals and jetties. Our subject experts will address jetty design and compatibility with different sizes of vessels, as well as port approach, berthing, mooring and other technologies.
Automation comes under the spotlight next and will be examined from technical, operational and financial standpoints. The first day ends with a look at next-generation mooring systems. Day two’s agenda is equally compelling. Delegates can expect thorough analysis of risk management and emergency response procedures, bunker terminal and vessel innovations, small-scale LNG and safety, crewing and training. Our conference could not take place without the generous support of all our sponsors. Special thanks goes to Platinum Sponsor Trelleborg as well as RollsRoyce and Bureau Veritas. We also thank our official supporting organisation SIGTTO. Please also be sure to visit the world-class companies that form our supporting exhibition. Last, but by no means least, we are especially grateful to you, our international audience, for coming again in such numbers and from all over the world. Throughout the two days, social and networking opportunities are not neglected. As always there will be many opportunities to meet and forge new contacts. These include coffee breaks, buffet lunches and of course our evening reception tonight. My colleagues and I remain available to assist in any way we can. Together we look forward to a productive, insightful and enjoyable event.

Platinum sponsor’s welcome
Come Together, Right Now David Pendleton Managing Director Trelleborg Marine Systems UK, SeaTechnikTM Product Area
A
s a native of Liverpool and a Beatles fan I couldn’t resist the title for this welcome page. But the idea comes from a quote by Henry Ford. “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” On behalf of everyone at Trelleborg I am delighted to welcome you to the second annual LNG ship/shore interface conference here in London. Once again this event is bringing together all of the key stakeholders in the LNG transportation supply chain including, vessel owners/operators, ports, LNG project developers, energy majors, charterers and equipment/ service suppliers. With more LNG capacity coming on stream year on year we are seeing increasing demand not just for large scale transportation of cargoes but also for more FSRU applications and of course the growth of LNG fueling for marine vessels. All of these applications have in common one key requirement. The safe, efficient and timely transfer of LNG from one tank system to another. One key critical element in achieving this is the ship shore interface. However, reviewing the speaking programme for this conference one thing is clear. The ship shore interface requires we all come together and use all of
our skills and talents as technologists and innovators to make it happen. The safe, efficient transportation and transfer of LNG as a cargo has had an enviable safety record over its 40 year history. We have all, at some point, had a part to play in delivering that record and I know that during these next two days we will learn from each other about how we will seek to maintain this record while rising to the new challenges and applications the industry presents. Speaking as Trelleborg our own contribution to the ship sore interface has been the Ship Shore Link System. This has helped ensure globally compatible systems are in place both on LNG vessels and the jetties to ensure our clients can trade safely and efficiently anywhere in the world. This year we celebrated the milestone of shipping our 600 ship shore link for the industry and along with our Docking and Mooring, fenders and pilot navigation products we are committed to driving innovation through a smarter approach to meeting the needs of the industry. I wish you all an excellent and successful conference and look forward to hearing from and speaking to many of you.

Its polymer engineering expertise also extends to its range of general marine products, including navigation aids and buoys. LNG expertise From ship-to-ship transfer, to LNGCs, to small-scale LNG, Trelleborg’s marine systems operation has a pedigree in all LNG applications. With over 30 years’ experience in providing cutting-edge docking, mooring, transfer technology and ship-performance systems all over the world, Trelleborg understands the LNG market and the demands that come with it. LNG operations require reliable, safe, continuous uptime. Trelleborg is setting the standards to help the industry achieve this, connecting decades of experience in this unique field with a new smarter approach to docking, mooring and transfer technology. LNG portfolio From Quick Release Hooks (QRHs) to Smart ShipShore Safety Link Systems (SSLs), Trelleborg represents the benchmark in integrated docking, mooring and transfer packages for LNG terminals. The company supplies over 60 per cent of LNG terminal mooring and monitoring systems, and in excess of 80 per cent of SSL transfer systems for LNG terminals globally. All of Trelleborg’s systems comply with the stringent safety requirements for berthing at export and import terminals, SIGTTO guidelines, and are backed by a 24/7 global service team. Ship-Shore Link (SSL) The majority of the world’s LNG cargo fleet and terminals are equipped with SSL technology, a system for communicating the emergency shutdown (ESD) signals, telephone and process data required when cargo transfer is undertaken from ship to shore and from shore to ship. Trelleborg’s SeaTechnikTM SSL, which has set the industry standard in large-scale LNG transfer for nearly 20 years, is suitable for onshore and offshore applications. It has simple electronic configuration to match any terminal and ensure worldwide compatibility. Earlier this year, a major milestone was reached when the 600th Trelleborg SeaTechnikTM SSL was shipped for installation on a 174 000m3 LNG carrier (Hull number 2411) being built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) at the Okpo ship yard at Geoje Island in South Korea, for Teekay Shipping Limited.
Universal Safety Link (USL) Trelleborg’s market-leading USL addresses the needs of emerging LNG fuelling and small-scale transfer, bunkering and fuelling application spaces. Trelleborg’s USL features integrated main and back-up safety link systems for LNG transfers as both fuel and cargo. Employing Trelleborg SeaTechnikTM SSL digital fibre optic technology, the system is compatible with largescale Trelleborg SeaTechnikTM SSL LNG SSL systems via adaptor and features a configurable system link for the transfer of other plant process control data. Trelleborg can also offer an optional ESD control system for fuelling vessels, fuelled vessels and terminal applications. Recent months have seen the commissioning of the LNGfuelled Harvey Gulf OSV vessels and the TOTE Maritime LNG-fuelled container ships. Both are using Trelleborg’s USL system to monitor the LNG-fuelling procedure. Quick Release Hooks (QRH) QRHs are the foundation for today’s advanced integrated mooring systems. Installed since 1972 at facilities worldwide, Trelleborg's QRHs enable mooring lines to be safely secured, and quickly and easily released even when loaded to their safe working load limit. With sizes and configurations to suit all applications, their fieldproven features enhance safety, reliability, ease of use and ensure compliance to international standards. Service Trelleborg’s entire range of Trelleborg SeaTechnikTM products is also supported by the Trelleborg SeaTechnikTM global service team, ready to support your operation 24/7.
