CA 2669119

A method and system for transporting fluid is described. The method includes coupling a transit vessel to a terminal vessel associated with at least one terminal. The transit vessel and the terminal vessel are coupled at an open sea or lightering location, which may be selected based upon operational conditions. Then, cryogenic fluid is transferred between the transit vessel and the terminal vessel, while the transit vessel and terminal vessel are moving in substantially the same direction. Once the transfer is complete, the terminal vessel decouples from the transit vessel and moves a terminal to provide the cryogenic fluid to the terminal. The cryogenic fluid may include liquefied natural gas (LNG) and/or liquefied carbon dioxide (CO2).

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour transporter un fluide. Le procédé comprend le couplage d'un navire de transit à un navire de terminal associé à au moins un terminal. Le navire de transit et le navire de terminal sont couplés à un emplacement en haute mer ou de transport par allège, qui peut être sélectionné sur la base de conditions opérationnelles. Ensuite, un fluide cryogénique est transféré entre le navire de transit et le navire de terminal, tandis que le navire de transit et le navire de terminal se déplacent sensiblement dans la même direction. Une fois que le transfert est terminé, le navire de terminal se détache du navire de transit et se déplace vers un terminal pour fournir le fluide cryogénique au terminal. Le fluide cryogénique peut comprendre un gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) et/ou du dioxyde de carbone liquéfié (CO2).
