Abstract
A floating dockable liquefied natural gas supply station, comprising: a main hull, a bottom base and a positioning system. The bottom base comprises a base plate or at least two base plates. The base plate is securely connected to a lower lateral side of the main hull by means of a splicing securing system. Therefore, the main hull and the bottom base of the floating dockable liquefied natural gas supply station can be assembled in a modular manner. It is possible to individually construct the main hull and bottom base of the floating dockable liquefied natural gas supply station, and to then use a modular method for connecting and assembling same on the ocean or on land, thus being able to flexibly form various types and dimensions of supply station, allowing for docking transport vessels accommodating various loading capacities of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and reducing the construction cost thereof.
