Energy supply of a gas terminal by a liquefied gas transporting vessel

摘要

The method involves supplying a part of power produced by a propulsion system (250) of a liquefied gas carrying ship (200) to a gas terminal (206). Excess gas vapors in gaseous atmosphere (224) of a tank (202) of the tanker and in gaseous atmosphere (226) of a reservoir (204) of the terminal are supplied to the propulsion system. Heat produced by the propelling system is supplied to a heat exchanger (222) disposed in the terminal. Part of the electricity produced by the ship's propulsion system is fed to the gas terminal. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a ship comprising a tank to transport liquefied gas; and (b) a gas terminal with a reservoir for stocking the gas.
