Transportation of the large size unit consisting of a storage tank and a base slab

A method of transporting a container comprising:

• pressurizing an inside cavity of the container to a pressure, the container comprising a support slab and at least one shell disposed on top of the support slab, wherein increasing the pressure within the inside cavity redistributes a downward load of the container from an outer edge towards a center of the container by creating an uplift of one or more edges of the support slab;
• loading the container onto a transport vehicle;
• and
• transporting the container from a first location to a second location while pressurized and while an outer perimeter portion extends outward from a support surface of the transport vehicle, such that at least a portion of the support slab overhangs from the support surface of the transport vehicle.

A method of transporting a liquid gas container comprising:

• pressurizing an inside cavity of the liquid gas container to a pressure, the liquid gas container comprising a support slab and at least one shell disposed on top of the support slab, wherein increasing the pressure within the inside cavity redistributes a downward load of the liquid gas container from an outer edge towards a center of the liquid gas container by creating an uplift of one or more edges of the support slab;
• loading the liquid gas container onto a transport vehicle;
• and
• transporting the liquid gas container from a first location to a second location while pressurized, the liquid gas container comprising at least one cryogenic metal shell forming the inside cavity and a support slab which supports a downward load of the cryogenic metal shell.
