Abstract
A transfer system, for transferring liquid-form gas between two liquid-form gas units, includes: a main pipe configured to transfer the liquid-form gas from a source tank of a liquid-form gas source unit to a receiving tank of a liquid-form gas receiving unit, the main pipe including at least a first portion and a flexible second portion; and at least one return pipe configured to convey the liquid-form gas present in the main pipe toward the source tank, the transfer system being configured to drain the liquid-form gas under gravity.
