More Information
Summary:A subsea carrier (100) for transporting a fluid, e.g. CNG or crude, comprises a main body (101) for containing the fluid at a predetermined internal pressure, wherein the main body (101) preferably is made of concrete and designed to operate at a water depth where the external pressure substantially counteracts the internal pressure. The subsea carrier has a floating element (102) connected to the main body (101) by a stabilising cable (132), wherein the stabilising cable (132) comprises a first rope (321) for transmitting force and is attached to a first connector (134) that is movable with respect to the main body (101). A system wherein the subsea carrier is towed by a surface vessel (3) or is self-propelled and controlled remotely is also disclosed. The subsea carrier (100) reduces operational costs relative to subsea carriers with traditional control surfaces and ballasting systems at large cargo volumes, e.g. 150 000 m3 or more.
