Abstract:
A water-borne carrier for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied nitrogen (LIN). A plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks are arranged along a length of the ship. The plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks may contain LNG or LIN. A LNG-only cryogenic storage tank may be arranged along the length of the ship. The LNG-only cryogenic storage tank contains only LNG.

Claim (Index 26):
A method of transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied nitrogen (LIN) in a water-borne carrier, comprising:\n at a first location, emptying LIN from a plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks that are positioned along a length of the carrier; at the first location, filling the plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks and a LNG-only cryogenic storage tank with LNG, the LNG-only cryogenic storage tank being positioned along the length of the carrier between the plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks; using the carrier, transporting the LNG to a second location; at the second location, emptying the LNG from the plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks and the LNG-only cryogenic storage tank; at the second location, filling the plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks with LIN; using the carrier, transporting the LIN to the first location; and at the first location and/or the second location, maintaining a load balance of the carrier while emptying and filling the plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks and the LNG-only cryogenic storage tank; wherein the plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks are emptied of LNG before emptying LNG from the LNG-only cryogenic storage tank at the second location; wherein the plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks are filled with LIN while emptying LNG from the LNG-only cryogenic storage tank at the second location; and wherein the LNG-only cryogenic storage tank is filled with LNG while emptying LIN from the plurality of dual-purpose cryogenic storage tanks at the first location.
