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.

The present invention relates broadly to a offshore facility. The offshore facility comprise a floating platform; a metal processing apparatus disposed on the floating platform; and a power management module adapted to manage and provide a stable power supply to the metal processing apparatus.

An apparatus, system and method for capture, utilization and sendout of latent heat in boil off gas (BOG) onboard a cryogenic storage vessel is described. A liquefied gas vessel comprises a cryogenic cargo tank onboard a liquefied gas vessel, the cargo tank comprising a liquefied gas and a BOG, a latent heat exchanger fluidly coupled to a stream of the liquefied gas and a stream of the BOG, wherein the latent heat exchanger transfers a heat between the BOG stream and the liquefied gas stream to produce a condensed BOG, means for combining the condensed BOG and the liquefied gas stream to obtain a combined stream, the means for combining the condensed BOG and the liquefied gas stream fluidly coupled to the latent heat exchanger, and a liquefied gas regasifier onboard the vessel and fluidly coupled to the combined stream, wherein the liquefied gas regasifier regasifies the combined stream.

A method for the transmission/reception of RF signals for NMR measurements uses a heat exchanger (1) for cooling heat sources (5), the heat exchanger having a contact element (4.2) for thermal connection between a cryogenic fluid and the heat source, is characterized in that the heat exchanger comprises a container having an interior volume V.sub.B into which a first cryogenic fluid F.sub.1 that has a liquid component F.sub.1L and a gaseous component F.sub.1G flows through an inflow conduit (8) and from which a second cryogenic fluid F.sub.2 that has liquid component F.sub.2L and a gaseous component F.sub.2G flows out through an outflow conduit (9). The inflow conduit has a flow cross-section Q.sub.Z and a circumference U.sub.Z from which an associated parameter V.sub.Z=4.Math.Q.sup.2.sub.Z/U.sub.Z results, wherein V.sub.B>10.Math.V.sub.Z, and the outflow conduit has a flow diameter Q.sub.A wherein Q.sub.AQ.sub.Z. The contact element is in close thermal contact with both the liquid volume component V.sub.L of the cryogenic fluid and with the heat source. A device for setting the inflow quantity of the first cryogenic fluid F.sub.1 into the container is provided that ensures a state F.sub.1L/F.sub.1G>F.sub.2L/F.sub.2G during operation. In this way, vibrations due to the cooling process can be largely reduced and the consumption of cryogenic fluid minimized.
