Akram Elentably

The Floating Storage Reorganization Unit (FSRU) is a vital component required during transit and transportation of LPG, in addition to it is one of the magic solutions to overcome many maritime transport problems in terms of increasing the production capacity of marine ports, especially in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the optimal use of infrastructure available as well as increasing the absorptive capacity of classic ports such as Jeddah Islamic port (due to the limited expansion of the presence of the population blocks surrounding the port) in addition to adhering to the requirements of the international maritime organization in terms of the level of carbon emissions to about half a pal cent by the year 2020 due to the transformation processes of ships from heavy fuel to supply liquefied natural gas and this can be a special kind of unity of ships used to transport Liquefied Natural Gas (LPG) or floating terminal in the territorial waters of the port area. Since LPG, which is highly applicable and environmentally friendly, is an essential component of fuel for commercial ships, especially during the next ten years and for the application of paper there are many requirements given that errors in this area can lead to the loss of precious lives and valuable fuel, not to mention the further deterioration of the system surrounding environment.
