    Abstract: Methods and systems for receiving liquefied natural gas (LNG) and deliver ing vaporized natural gas to a pipeline in fluid communication with onshore equipment and methods for importing LNG. In one embodiment, an open-sea bert h import terminal includes a platform, which is fixed to the sea floor and i ncludes two or more sets of berthing structures. LNG carriers berth at the o pen-sea berth import terminal to transfer LNG to a storage vessel moored at one of the berthing structures. LNG vaporization facilities, either on the s torage vessel or the platform, vaporize the LNG prior to delivery to the pip eline. The storage vessel may include a barge or another LNG carrier. In oth er embodiments, the open-sea berth import terminal may have no storage facil ities, but two LNG carriers may berth at the berthing structures to concurre ntly perform offloading operations, with one transferring LNG and the other performing other offloading operations to enhance operations.

    Abstract: Métodos y sistemas para recibir gas natural licuado (LNG) y entregar gas natural vaporizado a una tubería en comunicación fluida con equipo en tierra y métodos para importar LNG. En una modalidad, una terminal de importación de atraque en mar abierto incluye una plataforma, que se fija al fondo marino e incluye das o más conjuntos de estructuras de atraque. Los barcos transportadores de LNG se atracan en la terminal de importación de atraque en mar abierto para transferir LNG a un barco de almacenamiento amarrado en una de las estructuras de atraque. Las instalaciones de vaporización de LNG, ya sea en el barco de almacenamiento o en la plataforma, vaporizan el LNG antes de entregarlo a la tubería. El barco de almacenamiento puede incluir una barcaza u otro buque transportador de LNG. En otras modalidades, la terminal de importación de atraque en mar abierto puede no contar con instalaciones de almacenamiento; sin embargo, dos buques transportadores de LNG pueden atracarse en las estructuras de atraque para llevar a cabo de manera simultánea operaciones de descarga, con uno que transfiere LNG y el otro que lleva a cabo otras operaciones de descarga para mejorar las operaciones.

    Abstract: A method and system for transporting fluid is described. The method inclu des 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 o pen 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 m oving in substantially the same direction. Once the transfer is complete, th e 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).

    Abstract: The present invention discloses apparatuses, systems, and methods for controlling liquid impact pressure in liquid impact systems. The liquid impact systems include at least one gas and a liquid, the gas having a density (PG) and a polytropic index (.kappa.) and the liquid having a density (PL). The methods include the step of calculating a liquid impact load of the liquid on the object by determining a parameter .PSI. for the system, wherein .PSI. is defined as (PG/PL) (.kappa.-1)/.kappa.. The systems are also configured to utilize the parameter .PSI.. The parameter .PSI. may be adjusted to increase or reduce the liquid impact load on the system. Automatic, computer-implemented systems and methods may be used or implemented. These methods and systems may be useful in applications such as LNG shipping and loading/off-loading, fuel tank operation, manufacturing processes, vehicles dynamics, and combustion processes, among others.
