Approach

The Chhara LNG Terminal will be developed within the boundary of the Chhara Port, which is proposed to be an all-weather port with an available depth of -20 mCD. The port will be sheltered by an offshore breakwater on a natural shoal existing

approximately 2.5 km seawards from the coastline. The main study objective is to conduct a detailed mooring analysis to assess the operational availability for

one of the LNG berths in the absence of the breakwater. The berth availability should be determined for every

season, including the monsoon period during which energetic wave conditions occur. The dynamic mooring analysis was carried out for a Q-Max vessel moored both on port and starboard side, and for both ballast and laden loading conditions.
