Abstract
A floating LNG storage barge with one or more LNG tanks provides mobile storage for LNG, by obtaining LNG from one or more LNG ocean transport vessels while the LNG storage barge is moored to a land-based jetty, transferring LNG to one or more land transfer trucks, pipelines or railroad tankers using an LNG distribution manifold and flexible hoses between the distribution manifold and the trucks via pumps or pressure differential between the LNG storage barge with the potential for LNG processing adaptive capacity.
Claims5
A floating mobile filling pontoon or liquid natural gas supply barge, providing for an ocean based supply of liquid natural gas for both land based receipt and transport supply and ocean based receipt and transport supply, the natural gas supply barge comprising:
- a hull defining a contoured deck;
- at least one replaceable liquid natural gas containment module adapted for secure placement within and upon said contoured deck;
- a truck filling skid attached to said hull, connecting a plurality of flexible hoses to transfer or receive liquid natural gas from a plurality of land based trucks contemporaneously while said liquid natural gas supply barge is moored to a land based jetty serving as a loading platform for said land based trucks.
A floating mobile filling pontoon or liquid natural gas supply barge, providing for an ocean based supply of liquid natural gas for both land based receipt and transport supply and ocean based receipt and transport supply, the natural gas supply barge comprising:
- a hull defining a contoured deck;
- and
- at least one replaceable liquid natural gas containment module adapted for secure placement within and upon said contoured deck while said liquid natural gas supply barge is spread moored using drag anchors and chains and or a docking tower providing a supply of liquid natural gas through a sub-sea or floating liquid natural gas pipeline attaching to said liquid natural gas supply barge connected to an LNG distribution manifold on a land jetty, said liquid natural gas pipeline delivering and receiving liquid natural gas from one or more land based trucks contemporaneously said land jetty further providing a shore based power supply through an electrical cable attached between said land jetty and said liquid natural gas supply barge and also a firewater supply to said liquid natural gas barge in the event of a fire emergency.
