Abstract:
A gas transport vessel having a hull and a tank longitudinally received in the hull and method of constructing the tank within the hull. The vessel is designed to transport fluids, such as hydrogen or other gases and liquids. The tank has a plurality of layers that are unconnected to adjacent layers. The tank contacts the vessel at a top and bottom. The top connection, for example a connection to deck structure, supports the tank for preventing sagging. The tank may be substantially the length of the ship and located between a forward and a rearward bulkhead. Two tanks may placed adjacent one another separated by a longitudinal bulkhead. Each layer has a forward and rearward end cap constructed of multiple frusto-conical sections. A space is provided on sides of the tank to permit expansion. The tank is integral with ship structure, thereby providing additional strength to the vessel.

Abstract:
L'invention concerne une installation de stockage et de transport d'un fluide cryogénique embarquée sur un navire (1), l'installation comportant une cuve (2, 3, 4, 5, 102, 202) étanche et thermiquement isolante destinée au stockage du fluide cryogénique dans un état d'équilibre diphasique liquide-vapeur, l'installation comportant au moins deux conduites étanches (22, 23, 24, 25) pénétrant à travers la cuve de sorte à définir un passage d'évacuation de la phase vapeur du fluide cryogénique de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur de la cuve, les deux conduites étanches (22, 23, 24, 25) comportant chacune une extrémité de collecte débouchant à l'intérieur de la cuve au niveau de la membrane d'étanchéité (21) de la paroi de plafond (13); les extrémités de collecte desdites deux conduites étanches (22, 23, 24, 25) débouchant à l'intérieur de la cuve au niveau de deux zones de la paroi de plafond (13) situées à deux extrémités opposées de ladite paroi de plafond (13).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for transporting liquid gas, to a lighter (2) and a freighter (5), designed for carrying out the process, and to corresponding uses of same. According to the invention, a lighter (2) is loaded in a first port with liquid gas. The lighter (2) is then taken on board a freighter (5), which proceeds to a different port, where the lighter (2) filled with liquid gas is then unloaded from the freighter (5).

Abstract:
A method for storage and transport of LPG on LPG carriers, in particular two cargoes of different LPG types on same shipment, having reliquefaction units (300, 400) in which vaporized gases are condensed and then returned into at least one cargo tank (100) for the respective LPG cargo type. The method is further comprising: using the reliquefaction units (300, 400), at a minimum one running, as to condense vapour from the first cargo type; passing the condensed vapour through a heat exchanger (500); simultaneously flowing vapour from the second cargo type through the heat exchanger (500) as to condense vapour by means of heat exchanging with the condensed vapour; and returning the condensed vapours leaving the heat exchanger back into the respective cargo types. The present invention is also disclosing a system for storage and transport of LPG on LPG carriers.
Abstract:
A device by pressure vessels (2) for sea transport of petroleum fluids, where at least two pressure vessels (2) are connected to and communicate with a manifold (1).

Abstract:
The liquefied gas carrier according to the present invention particularly comprises a liquefied gas storage tank and is characterized in that the liquefied gas storage tank comprises an upper part, a middle part, and a lower part, that the vertical length of the middle part extends farther than the vertical length of the middle part of the liquefied gas tank of a liquefied gas carrier having a liquefied gas storage capacity of less than 70K, and that the liquefied gas carrier has a width of less than 32.3 m and has a liquefied gas tank having a liquefied gas storage capacity of at least 70K, preferably of 78.7K. Said features allow the liquefied gas carrier to have an increased cargo capacity while having a width allowing for passage through the original Panama Canal, and improvements in the hull form, interior structure, and so on can improve structural stability and the like.
