Barge for carrying liquefied natural gas LNG tanker trucks

Abstract

The invention solves problems relating to LNG supply in remote areas such as islands lacking port areas adapted for supplying LNG, the invention consisting of a barge for carrying liquefied natural gas LNG tanker trucks and the distribution thereof to different locations, comprising at least one self-propelled liquefied natural gas LNG tanker truck located on the deck of the barge, a connection module for connecting the barge to the LNG supply from a supply source, at least one LNG loading module for loading LNG into tanker trucks, at least one LNG distribution module linking the connection module for connecting the barge to the LNG supply and the LNG loading module for loading LNG into tanker trucks, tanker truck barge access means and tanker truck barge exit means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a natural gas transportation and logistics system, more specifically, when an end customer or consumer is located in a place that is difficult to reach by sea, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) is delivered from a natural gas field or a gas producing country to the consumer. [0002] The transport and distribution system of the present invention also includes offshore facilities for transporting and distributing the liquefied natural gas to these end customers or consumers, these offshore facilities may be located near the coast or far from the coast, but in any case are scattered over a large island composed of many islands. Within the area of ​​​​the area, logistics transportation can be carried out by sea between these islands. Background technique [0003] Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is transported from gas-producing countries to consuming countries using large ships called methane or gas carriers. In these carrier s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] Problems can arise when end customers or consumers reside in, for example, scattered archipelagos or islands, where it would not be profitable and not economically worthwhile to build these port facilities in scattered locations Supply of LNG to a broad customer base on these islands

[0011] One more thing about this type of consumers is that even though they have port facilities for offloading LNG, they don't have large LNG tankers and lack pipelines to distribute LNG to consumers
