Integrated berthing

As part of the agreement, Trelleborg will provide four sets of its latest generation Super Cone Fenders (SCN), to optimise performance and efficiency. The conical body shape makes the SCN very stable even at large compression angles and provides excellent shear strength and resistance to over compression.

“It is our pleasure to have been selected as a strategic partner for such a landmark project and consequently play a key role in facilitating Vietnam’s transition to LNG gas thermal power,” said Richard Hepworth, president of Trelleborg Marine and Infrastructure.

Supply scope

Trelleborg will also supply a selection of docking and mooring equipment to the terminal.

This includes its Quick Release Hooks (QRH), Load Monitoring System, which measures and displays critical mooring line tensions and its Docking Aid System, which increases situational awareness, providing vital information such as distances, angles and speeds to pilots and jetty operators to ensure the vessel is safely docked.

At the same time, its Ship-Shore Link system supports LNG carrier loading and cargo discharge. Additionally, the terminal will utilise Trelleborg’s Environmental Monitoring System which provides weather, tide, current and wave information to the staff at the berth, at the operations center, or to the vessel.

When operational, the terminal located in the southern province of Ba Ria Vung Tau, will boast the capacity of one million tonnes per year in 2022 and three million tonnes per year in the second phase of development., helping PetroVietnam Gas realise its ambition of facilitating LNG supply for Vietnam.

Since 1996, Trelleborg has installed over 1,000 Ship-Shore Link systems worldwide.
