Solutions for sloshing
To increase the strength of the containment system to such a level that they
can withstand the sloshing loads
To reduce the loads to such a level that they are acceptable with regards to
the strength of the containment system
CONFIDENTIEL 26/10/2016
adding dynamic positioning system (turret mooring), to reduce exposition in beam seas,
working on the ship behaviour (by increasing the natural period in roll, and the corresponding added
damping (enlarged bilge keels, etc))

Membrane tanks and 9%Ni tanks provides the highest level of safety (full
integrity in case of LNG spill)
But only membrane tanks offer the largest variety of configurations (above
ground, in-ground, semi-buried, cryogenic caverns...)
