SEA BED TERMINAL FOR OFFSHORE ACTIVITIES
The publication relates to a shallow water seabed terminal (40) for storing and loading or unloading hydrocarbons, such as LNG, oil or gas, comprising a floatable, removable module (20), and a removable seabed substructure (10) intended to be supported by a seabed (19), the floatable module (20) being releasably fixed to the seabed substructure (10) so that a harbour terminal is formed, the seabed substructure (10) comprises a base structure (11) provided with buoyancy devices, an upwards extending wall structure (12) extending up from the base structure (11) and arranged along at least a part of the periphery of the base structure (11), the base structure also being provided with an opening (18) in the wall structure (12) for allowing the floatable module (20), to be berthed in and supported by the seabed substructure (10). The base structure (11) is provided with a submerged beam or base slab structure (35) extending laterally out from the vertical wall structure (12), configured to support the floatable, removable module, the beam or slab structure (35) being provided with sleeves or ducts extending through the submerged beam or slab structure (35) configured to receive the piles to be driven down into the seabed soil.
