FSRU ships and terminal on the island of Krk (Omišalj)

LNG (engl. Liquefied Natural Gas) kao teret demonstrira elastičnost, fleksibilnost i pouzdanost. Epiteti u prethodnoj rečenici se LNG-u mogu dodijeliti iz činjenice da je prirodni plin rijetka roba koja je u 2020. godini zabilježila rast. Nova i mala tržišta do čijih otvaranja dolazi zbog razvoja tržišta LNG-a neće imati sigurnost u buduću potražnju za plinom kako bi mogli izgraditi kopnene terminale. S ciljem izbjegavanja rizika koji idu uz izgradnju kopnenih terminala dolazi se do inovativnosti plinske industrije te plutajućih jedinica za uplinjavanje – FSRU (engl. Floating Storage Regasification Unit) koji predstavljaju glavni udio diplomskog rada. Posljedica ekspanzije tržišta LNG-a je gradnja sve većeg broja FSRU brodova. Vrijeme realizacije projekta FSRU-a i kapitalni troškovi su manji u odnosu na kopnene terminale, a navedeno je značajno smanjeno prilikom konverzije LNG broda u FSRU. Bitno je napomenuti da je FSRU još uvijek brod te to pruža značajnu fleksibilnost. FSRU brodovi su podrobno obrađeni. Prikazani su tehničko-tehnološki segmenti FSRU brodova. Za kraj je dan naglasak na terminalu za LNG na otoku Krku (Omišalj) kojim se postiže diversifikacija energetskih pravaca dobave što je za Republiku Hrvatsku iznimno bitno.LNG as a cargo demonstrates elasticity, flexibility and reliability. The epithets in the previous sentence can be assigned to LNG from the fact that natural gas is a rare commodity that recorded growth in 2020. New and small markets whose opening is due to the development of the LNG market will not have security in future gas demand so that they can build onshore terminals. In order to avoid the risks associated with the construction of onshore terminals, there is innovation in the gas industry and floating gasification units (FSRU), which are the main part of the thesis. The consequence of the expansion of the LNG market is the construction of an increasing number of FSRU ships. The time of realization of the FSRU project and capital costs are lower compared to the land terminals, and this was significantly reduced during the conversion of the LNG ship into the FSRU. It is important to note that the FSRU is still a ship and this provides significant flexibility. FSRU ships are treated in detail. The technical-technological segments of FSRU ships are presented. Finally, emphasis was placed on the LNG terminal on the island of Krk (Omišalj), which achieves the diversification of energy supply routes, which is extremely important for the Republic of Croatia
