Fixing heavy machinery such as Companders (compressor and expander arrangement) on modern LNG carriers requires careful examination of holding-down arrangements. Currently there are no specific rules regarding this, and the methods for estimating accelerations differ widely between Classification societies and the International Gas Code (IGC). In highlighting the need for a detailed review of holding-down arrangements, a comparison of methods of acceleration calculations is made. A new method was found using kinematics of rigid bodies and its impact on the location of equipment is analysed.
