PERU LNG 2021 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT PERU LNG 2021 CHAPTER 5 INFRASTRUCTURE TO ASTOUND THE WORLD THE PORT FACILITY IS PROTECTED FROMTHESWELL BY A BREAKWATER EIGHT HUNDRED METERS LONG BUILT PARALLEL TO THE COAST AND THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY METERS OFF THE LOADING PLATFORM. The PERU LNG port facility can handle methane tankers carrying from 90 000 to 174 200 cubic meters of LNG, with a full-load displacement of 118 388 tons and a draught of up to twelve meters. The terminal consists of an access bridge or jetty built of steel and reinforced concrete supported by 308 steel piles driven into the sea bed. It is 1 388 meters long and the LNG loading platform is at the outer end, equipped with four loading arms sixteen inches in diameter (three for LNG and one return line for steam). The terminal is also fitted with mooring infrastructure for LNG vessels, specifically, six mooring dolphins and four dolphins for ship handling. These structures are provided with four fenders protecting an area of thirty square meters to prevent contact between a ship's hull and the installations, as well as quick-release double or triple mooring hooks. Their characteristics mean that the structures can withstand the forces exerted on them by current, wind and waves while vessels are berthing. The port facility is protected from the swell by a breakwater eight hundred meters long built parallel to the coast and three hundred and fifty meters off the loading platform. The facility has three navigable channels that are dredged every year to maintain an adequate depth. Four tugs with a bollard pull of eighty tons are available to assist with the berthing and unberthing of methane tankers. As well as its marine infrastructure, the PERU LNG terminal is equipped with the latest 28
