Container for storing and transporting liquefied gas

A container for storing and transporting liquefied gas, comprising:

• a first, internal reservoir that extends in a longitudinal direction (A) and is configured to store the liquefied gas,
• a second, external reservoir that is disposed around the first reservoir with a vacuum insulated space between the first and the second reservoir,
• a third, annular reservoir that is disposed around the first reservoir, between the first and the second reservoir, the third reservoir extending around at least a part of the first reservoir and containing a liquefied gas in order to form a heat shield for thermally insulating the first reservoir,
• a device for holding the first and third reservoirs in the second reservoir, the holding device being configured to allow limited travel of the first and third reservoirs in the second reservoir when undergoing dimensional variations caused by temperature variations, the holding device comprising a set of tie rods,
• wherein at least some of the tie rods have a first end connected in an articulated manner to the second reservoir and a second end connected rigidly to the first reservoir or to the third reservoir or to a structural component rigidly connected to said first or third reservoir,
• the articulated tie rods being movable between two given angular positions that respectively define two distinct positions of the second end of the tie rods and correspond respectively to the extremes of the dimensional variations of the first and third reservoirs with respect to the second reservoir.
