Gas supply refueling facility

A refueling facility comprising a gas interface module having an elongated frame extending between a first end and a second end to define two spaced apart frame sides;

• a plurality of fuel vessel docking stations disposed along at least one frame side, the plurality of fuel vessel docking stations spaced apart from one another horizontally;
• a plurality of fuel container assemblies adjacent the gas interface module, each fuel container assembly fluidically coupled to the gas interface module via a separate fuel vessel docking stations, the plurality of fuel container assemblies stacked on top of one another and adjacent one another to form rows and columns of fuel container assemblies;
• a gantry assembly with a first support leg system, a second support leg system spaced apart from the first support leg system, a bridge girder extending between the first and second support leg systems to permit the gantry assembly to straddle the stacked fuel container assemblies;
• and an articulating crane mounted on the bridge girder of the gantry assembly, the articulating crane having a boom with a first end pivotally attached to the gantry assembly and a cargo engagement mechanism attached to the second end of the boom.

A refueling facility comprising a gas interface module having an elongated frame extending between a first end and a second end to define two spaced apart frame sides;

• a plurality of fuel vessel docking stations disposed along at least one frame side, the plurality of fuel vessel docking stations spaced apart from one another horizontally and vertically;
• a plurality of fuel container assemblies adjacent the gas interface module, each fuel container assembly fluidically coupled to the gas interface module via a separate fuel vessel docking stations, the plurality of fuel container assemblies stacked on top of one another and adjacent one another to form horizontal rows and vertical columns of fuel container assemblies;
• a gantry assembly with a first support leg system, a second support leg system spaced apart from the first support leg system, and a bridge girder extending between the first and second support leg systems to permit the gantry assembly to straddle the stacked fuel container assemblies;
• and a crane mounted on the bridge girder of the gantry assembly, the crane having a cargo engagement mechanism releasably attachable to a fuel container assembly.
