Systems that contain significant energy are to be depressurised during an emergency situation.5. During an dimensioning accidental event, the integrity and functionality of depressurising piping and valves is to be maintained for the required period of time in order to ensure that success- ful depressurization can be performed.3. In case of relief to cargo tanks, the effect of routing high pressure LNG/NG to the cargo tank is to be documented.Section 3 Regasification System EquipmentCHAPTER 13 PROCESS SYSTEMSSection 1 General(1) The following plans and documents are to be submitted for the approval of the Society at classification survey during construction before the work is commenced.Section 2 Design of Process SystemsSection 3 Process System EquipmentSection 4 Process Support SystemsCHAPTER 14 LOADING AND OFFLOADING SYSTEMSSection 1 GeneralSection 2 Design of Loading and Offloading SystemsCHAPTER 15 IMPORT AND EXPORT SYSTEMSection 1 GeneralGUIDANCE FOR FLOATING LIQUEFIED GAS UNITS
