Systems and methods for dockside regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are described herein. The methods include providing LNG from a LNG carrier to a regasification vessel. The LNG may be regasified on the regasification vessel. The regasified natural gas may be discharged with a high pressure arm to a dock and delivered onshore. The regasification vessel may be moored to the dock. The LNG carrier may be moored to the regasification vessel or the dock.

Portable cargo handling equipment for liquid hydrogen is portable cargo handling equipment for liquid hydrogen which transfers the liquid hydrogen stored in a land-side cryogenic tank to a ship-side cryogenic tank. The portable cargo handling equipment includes: a liquid hydrogen pipe through which the liquid hydrogen is guided and which includes a first joint connectable to an end portion of a ship-side liquid pipe extending from the ship-side cryogenic tank and a second joint connectable to an end portion of a land-side liquid pipe extending from the land-side cryogenic tank; a first emergency release coupling located at the liquid hydrogen pipe; a hydrogen gas pipe through which a hydrogen gas generated by evaporation of the liquid hydrogen is guided and which includes a third joint connectable to an end portion of a ship-side gas pipe extending from the ship-side cryogenic tank; a second emergency release coupling located at the hydrogen gas pipe; and a vent pipe including one end connected to the hydrogen gas pipe and the other end that is open to an atmosphere.

A liquid loading device including a vertical lattice support structure, a platform coupled to the vertical lattice support structure, and a riser pipe located within the vertical lattice support structure and coupled to the vertical lattice support structure to substantially remain rotation free relative to the vertical lattice support structure. The device further includes a first rotatable joint located on a distal end of the riser pipe in which the first rotatable joint is operable to rotate relative to the riser pipe. The device further includes an arm extending from the platform and operable to be rotated relative to the platform. The device can also include a second rotatable joint coupled to the first rotatable joint through one or more rigid members, in which the second rotatable joint is operable to rotate relative to the platform. The device can further include an extension pipe extending from the second rotatable joint to a distal end of the arm.

Control module(s) and safety link(s) for ship communications arranging for emergency shutdown ESD communication between an unloading storage facility for hazardous goods on either ship or shore and a loading storage facility for hazardous goods on either ship or shore, with at least one umbilical line, connectors for coupling the control module(s) with the lines, the lines using bidirectional communication between a ship type control module and a shore type control module, and a transfer switch to switch the communication mode of the concerning control module between ship type and shore type.

Offloading cargo from a cargo vessel and delivering the cargo to a cargo recipient, or loading cargo onto the cargo vessel from a cargo supplier, may be performed using a cargo vessel which is spread moored at sea to a plurality of mooring points for mooring the cargo vessel in a desired orientation. Alternatively, the cargo vessel may be rotatably moored. Tubing may be provided and configured to be connected to the vessel for fluid communication between the vessel and the cargo recipient or the cargo supplier, and may comprise a first portion configured to be connected to the cargo vessel and a second portion configured to be connected to the cargo recipient or the cargo supplier. A semi-submersible unit may be operable to travel across the sea and carry part of the tubing from a stand-by location to a position adjacent to the cargo vessel, so as to allow an end of the first portion of the tubing to be connected the cargo vessel for offloading or loading the cargo. The unit may have at least one lifting and handling device, which when the unit is positioned adjacent to the cargo vessel, may be operable for arranging the end of the first portion of the tubing at or near a manifold on the cargo vessel for connection thereto.
