Impact of weather conditions on the construction of the terminal - Monte Carlo simulation

A simulation model is developed for the potential planned Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego terminals. The purpose is to identify the reliability and availability of the loading operation in the terminal. The harsh weather conditions, technical reliability and concurrent traffic prevent LNG Carriers for approaching or loading. Probabilistic simulation method is created and Monte Carlo simulations carried for several cases where the production, number of jetties and terminal storage is varied. The results indicate the high importance of the weather restrictions and conclude for the recommendation of two loading jetties and larger volume of the storage capacity.
