Patent

CA 2320692

A method is disclosed for adapting a decommissioned ship, e.g. an oil-tanker, to control rolling for use as a Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO). The FPSO bilge keel (8) is made up of two lines of plates, continuous or sectioned, in this case with a small separation between each two adjacent sections, mounted along the bilge of the vessel, one on either side, at right angles to the hull, and is made wider and/or with a greater total length than the bilge keel (5) of the original decommissioned ship. In a preferred embodiment the bilge keel is made up of corrugated plates (7).

L'invention se rapporte à un procédé d'adaptation d'un navire déclassé, tel qu'un pétrolier ravitailleur. Ce procédé consiste à contrôler le roulis en vue de l'utilisation dudit navire en tant que plate-forme flottante de production et de déchargement (FPSO). La quille de roulis (8) d'une telle plate-forme FPSO est constituée de deux bandes de tôles, continues ou découpées en sections. Dans ce dernier cas, une petite séparation est ménagée entre chaque paire de sections adjacentes. Lesdites bandes de tôles sont montées, de part et d'autre, le long du bouchain de la plate-forme, à angles droits par rapport à la coque. Cette quille de roulis se caractérise essentiellement par une largeur et/ou une longueur totale supérieures à celles de la quille de roulis (5) du navire d'origine. Dans une réalisation préférée, ladite quille de roulis est constituée de tôles ondulées (7).
