    Abstract: A marine vessel, and a system and method of using the marine vessel, to facilitate the introduction of bulk liquid commodities, such as LNG, into the established and extensive worldwide intermodal transportation system, which is based on containerized shipments. The marine vessel is a specialized vessel, of either ship or barge form, that is capable of holding a large number of ISO-sized intermodal LNG tanks and is configured so as to have at one and the same time characteristics of both a tanker vessel (e.g., a gas carrier) and a container vessel. The intermodal LNG tanks connect to a piping system of the marine vessel and are thereby interconnected in such a manner that allows the interconnected intermodal LNG tanks to behave as if they constitute a typical LNG vessel bulk liquid tank to facilitate efficient loading at a typical marine LNG terminal The containerized intermodal LNG tanks are capable of discharging liquids to a marine terminal as if in a bulk mode, or of being disconnected from the common interconnection system to allow lift-off discharge of the intermodal LNG tanks at a typical cargo container port so that the intermodal LNG tanks can enter the existing intermodal transportation system for further distribution to the end user by other marine vessels, over-the-road truck, or by rail.

    Abstract translation: 一艘海船,以及使用该船只的系统和方法,以便将诸如液化天然气等散装液体商品引入建立在全球范围内的广泛的多式联运系统,该系统是以集装箱货物为基础的。 船只是船舶或驳船形式的专用船只,其能够容纳大量的ISO大小的联运液化天然气储罐,并且被配置为同时具有油罐船的特性( 例如气体载体)和容器容器。 联运液化天然气坦克连接到海洋船舶的管道系统,从而以这样的方式相互连接,使得互连的联运LNG储罐的行为就好像它们构成典型的LNG容器本体液体罐一样,以便于在典型的船用LNG 码头集装箱联运液化天然气坦克能够将液体排放到船舶码头,如同以散装模式或与公共互连系统断开连接,以允许在典型货物集装箱港口的联运液化天然气坦克的排放,以便 联运液化天然气坦克可以进入现有的多式联运系统,以便其他船舶,越野车或铁路进一步分配给终端用户。
