The invention relates to a sampling container for taking samples from a tank containing a flammable liquefied gas. The container comprises an inlet opening and an outlet opening, at least two valves for operating the openings, and a connector at the inlet opening for establishing fluid communication with the tank. A nozzle which communicates with the inlet opening and which suppresses the splashing of liquefied gas flowing into the sampling container and hence the build-up of static electricity. The invention further pertains to an apparatus for taking samples from a tank containing a flammable liquefied gas, comprising a first connector-counterpart for receiving the connector of the sampling container.
