Purpose of this document

The purpose of this class guideline can be summarised as follows:

— specify the Society's requirements for approval of membrane type LNG carriers and floating structures exposed to liquid sloshing in their cargo tanks.

— provide the industry with the necessary methodology to assess sloshing loads, and to evaluate its impact on the design of membrane type containment systems for LNG, the supporting hull structure, and the pump tower structure.

— provide the industry with guidance on how to use this methodology to comply with the Society's class requirements.
