LNGSTS staff are fully trained in the use of the Optimoor software and conducting compatibility studies as a standard.

We have applied accepted practices of ship compatibility checks for almost all our projects. We specialize in marine interface requirements for ship-to-ship as well as ship-to-shore and possess the latest Optimoor software and both static and dynamic analysis ability.
