Yep, this is definitely a Liquified Natural Gas station. The ship on the bottom left is a carrier of LNG.

Mohamed, what companies run that plant? I work for Shell and was wondering if that was one of our stations that we have a partnership in.

This docking facility is at the RASGAS facility in Qatar. The ship (not boat) is not sinking and is being pushed into the dock by the tugs who are just churning up the silt.

Also, the water churn is from the cooling facility….zoom up coast a little bit and you will see the intake site.

I work at the site.

It’s the berth for Qatargas and Rasgas which are LNG production plants. The ship you are looking at is one of RaGas’ ships which is a membrane type ship which is being assisted by tugs (churning up some mud) to berth before loading being loaded with LNG destined for Korea. If you zoom out a bit you will see another ship already at the berth and this is one of Qatargas’ MOSS type ship because you can see 5 spheres on it, its’ also being loaded and is probably on it’s way to Japan.

The second picture is the cooling water discharge for the Qatargas plant, which is water cooled. Qatar is a fairly flat country and we often joke that this is the largest waterfall in the country.

There are two flares at the jetty one for each berth for the flare gas while loading and there are three major flares at the plant site itself.

cheers

I think the boat is beeing pushed in to the dock, the waterpipe is just for cooling and the flame is burning oil/feul steam from the pomp mechanism
on the dock… you often see those flames at oil refinerys…

U agree?

Maybe check this interesting page with video footage of the whole industrial site there. I suspect that water spot there to be the cooling water used for air conditioning or the huge gas storage tanks, as on the virtual map of that site the pipes seem to go only from the gas tanks towards the see.

It’s not capsizing, we’d see part of one of its sides if it were tilting.

The efflugent also does not act at all like what oil would do on the water. (The “leaky tanker” from last week is more like it.) It’s probably silt kicked up by the movement of the tanker.

There’s Placemark: more water flows / Google Earth to the south of the ship terminal.

The burning thing may be a natural gas flare.
