Technology and supply of the offshore mobile bases and platforms

In this paper the proposal of liquefied natural gas terminal as a mobile offshore base is given. This idea has recently joined the existing land and offshore terminal's performances. But in that case a problem with the material and crew delivery appears. The supply vessel planning problem is a maritime transportation problem faced by the energy companies. The mobile offshore base is supplied from the coastal warehouse with supply vessels. If the delivery is performed for only one base, this problem can easily be solved applying the integer linear programming method. Here, an illustrative model has been presented, which can provide the total minimum costs and the number of trips from two locations, including some constraints.
