Ship Shore Link System - Purpose

Ship-Shore mutual shutdown;

• Should conform to SIGTTO recommendations for SSL

• Both a cause and an effect in shutdown logic

Telecommunications;

• Clear lines of communication between operators

Data transfer between ship and shore;

• Mooring load data from mooring hooks to the ship

ISO28460:2010 defines the link options;

• Mandates a primary and independent backup to be available

Additional SSL Functionality

Summary of current projects

CNG ESD (FSRU) / Platform Shutdown (FSU);

• Additional high integrity signal in both directions

Process data to / from FS(R)U;

• Gas composition

• Tank levels / volumes / temperatures

• Flow rates

• Send out temperature & pressure

• Shore gas tie-in feedback to FSRU

• Extensive (38) DCS integration hardwired signals (Digital I/O, Analogue I/O)

FS(R)U / shore QRH integration

FS(R)U control of shore facility

CCTV

FS(R)U to Shore Data

100Mbps Ethernet via SONET

digital SSL payload

Ethernet packet is separate to

ESD and telecoms;

• No risk of corruption

Limited by legacy OM2 fibre;

• 155Mbps reliably (SONET OC3)

• 1.5km end to end maximum

Limited to the standard of copper

cable and connections (Ex’d’);

• CERTAINLY NOT CAT5!

Ethernet extenders are used;

• Up to 15Mbps

• Speed is auto-ranged to cables

• Matched pairs

MLM via SSL

Trelleborg Marine Systems20

LNGC will only ever have a standard

SSL

Project requirements to integrate shore

QRH with FSRU QRH;

• No standard exists to take data from

shore and add it to FSRU data

• Data formats can be vendor specific

• FSRU requires more SSL functionality

Project requirements for FSRU control

of shore QRHs

Problems with Vessel Re-Use

FSRU vessels are routinely built to one spec then upgraded;

• Terminal requirements not looking to existing projects

Same process implemented multiple ways;

• Vessels installing multiple interfaces performing the same function

• Dangers of following the original LNGC development path

Moving vessels between terminals means constant upgrade

Expectations that FSU original SSL can be tweaked to suit all projects

More thought needed to how to trade a vessel in the future

Trelleborg Marine Systems22

Data Formats

Although the same data points are required different formats used;

• Modbus RTU

• OPC server / client

• Discrete I/O via UDP/IP

Even if a common transmission type was used, data addressing

should be consistent;

• Data address registers

• Data length / type

Future proofing by allowing ‘spare’ addresses

Trelleborg Marine Systems23

Small Scale LNG

Standards and guidelines being written;

• Current documentation limited to ‘linked ESD systems shall be used’

Digital SSL offers increased functionality to large scale SSL;

• ESD, telecoms, process data, control functions

Data for LNG Fuelling

Conclusions

New applications risk following large scale multi-connection systems;

• Increased cost

• Increased complexity

• Compatibility problems

Processes have common data requirements;

• Standardisation of data formats is possible

If LNGCs can trade worldwide, why limit FSRU applications?

Use of well proven digital technologies allow compatibility

No one party can do this, it needs to be addressed by everyone

together
