A system configured to refrigerate LCO 2 contained in an intermediate LCO 2 storage tank at a CO 2 receiving terminal, the system comprising: - an intermediate LCO 2 storage tank ; - a fluid withdrawal conduit connected to the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank configured to withdrawing fluid stream from the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank ; - an LCO 2 cargo import conduit connected to the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank configured to receive an LCO 2 cargo import stream from a LCO 2 carrier ship ; - a CO 2 vapour return conduit configured to be connected to the LCO 2 carrier ship and to return from the system CO 2 vapour to the LCO 2 carrier ship ; - a refrigeration unit (50; 51) connected to the fluid withdrawal conduit configured to refrigerate the withdrawn fluid stream from the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank ; - a fluid return conduit connecting the refrigeration unit (50; 51) with the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank configured to convey a refrigerated and/or liquefied fluid stream from the refrigeration unit (50; 51) to the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank , - an LCO 2 partial stream conduit connected to the LCO 2 cargo import conduit configured to withdrawing a partial stream of LCO 2 from the LCO 2 cargo import conduit ; - a vaporiser/sub-ambient cooler connected to the LCO 2 partial stream conduit configured to receiving the partial stream of LCO 2 , and to transfer, from a fluid heating stream being fed into the vaporiser/sub-ambient cooler, heat to the partial stream of LCO 2 , thereby vaporising the partial stream of LCO 2 , and exiting a stream of CO 2 into the CO 2 vapour return conduit ; - a cooling conduit connecting the refrigeration unit (50; 51) with the vaporiser/sub-ambient cooler , configured to convey from the latter to the former the fluid heating stream; and, - a cooling return conduit connecting the refrigeration unit (50; 51) with the vaporiser/sub-ambient cooler , configured to convey from the former to the latter a cooled fluid heating stream. - an intermediate LCO 2 storage tank ; - a fluid withdrawal conduit connected to the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank configured to withdrawing fluid stream from the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank ; - an LCO 2 cargo import conduit connected to the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank configured to receive an LCO 2 cargo import stream from a LCO 2 carrier ship ; - a CO 2 vapour return conduit configured to be connected to the LCO 2 carrier ship and to return from the system CO 2 vapour to the LCO 2 carrier ship ; - a refrigeration unit (50; 51) connected to the fluid withdrawal conduit configured to refrigerate the withdrawn fluid stream from the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank ; - a fluid return conduit connecting the refrigeration unit (50; 51) with the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank configured to convey a refrigerated and/or liquefied fluid stream from the refrigeration unit (50; 51) to the intermediate LCO 2 storage tank , - an LCO 2 partial stream conduit connected to the LCO 2 cargo import conduit configured to withdrawing a partial stream of LCO 2 from the LCO 2 cargo import conduit ; - a vaporiser/sub-ambient cooler connected to the LCO 2 partial stream conduit configured to receiving the partial stream of LCO 2 , and to transfer, from a fluid heating stream being fed into the vaporiser/sub-ambient cooler, heat to the partial stream of LCO 2 , thereby vaporising the partial stream of LCO 2 , and exiting a stream of CO 2 into the CO 2 vapour return conduit ; - a cooling conduit connecting the refrigeration unit (50; 51) with the vaporiser/sub-ambient cooler , configured to convey from the latter to the former the fluid heating stream; and, - a cooling return conduit connecting the refrigeration unit (50; 51) with the vaporiser/sub-ambient cooler , configured to convey from the former to the latter a cooled fluid heating stream. <EOS>
