Stability has a important influence on the safety of ships and marine structures,and is the basic se-curity guarantee for them.Based on the marginal gas field along the coastal China sea,and by using the software NAPA for calculation and analysis,this paper mainly studies the influence of the stability of the FLNG unit on its general design.Finally,the results show that stability has a very important influence on the FLNG unit,and its gen-eral design must meet the stability calculation requirements as the premise.At the same time,the early stage of the design should include the wind tunnel test of the FLNG unit,to accurately determine the wind heeling moment of the FLNG unit.
