Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015152825A1] The present disclosure relates to creating additional LNG storage space and deck space for gas process production/regasification modules, which is achieved by enlarging an existing LNG carrier by jumboisation technique with new built structural block and then by adding newly built sponsons which are proposed to be integrated with the existing LNG carrier to increase the value of the existing LNG carrier without needing to purchase or build an entirely new floater.
