    Abstract:

    With the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG)ship types,there is a new demand for small-scale refueling.To effectively promote green and low-carbon development,it is a trend to retrofit the existing large LNG wharf to adapt to the berthing of new small LNG bunker vessels.This article proposes a retrofit method for adding a berthing pile cluster system based on the existing large butterfly-arranged LNG terminal.The space model is used to simulate the structure,analyze its force and system displacement,and verify the influence of large mooring LNG ships on the system.Finally,the article proposes a set of design processes for the structure.The wharf after retrofit can berth and refuel a variety of small LNG refueling ships or carriers,with better adaptability,safety and reliability,superior durability,short retrofit period,and low investment,which has good application value and broad promotion prospects.
