An installation transfers fluid between a source (e.g., a cryogenic fluid reserve) and a receiving unit (e.g., a boat reservoir). It includes a beam framework tower housing a fluid transfer circuit with a pipe extending from a lower connection to an upper connection. The tower is composed of at least two separable stacked modules, enabling different height configurations (two modules stacked or a single module). The transfer circuit within the tower has two sections, one in each module, connected by demountable connectors to adapt the circuit's height to the tower's configuration.

A method for calibrating a filling system is disclosed. In a first calibration step, a calibration of a calibration variable of a first flow or level measuring device is performed at a first calibration point. In a first deviation determination step, the first control and evaluation unit of the measuring device determines an average deviation of the calibration variable from a desired value. In a first correction step, the first control and evaluation unit corrects a calibration parameter taking into account the determined deviation. In a first transmission step, the first control and evaluation unit transmits the determined deviation and/or the corrected calibration parameter to the second control and evaluation unit. In a first adaptation step, the second control and evaluation unit corrects a calibration parameter at a first calibration point, taking into account the deviation transmitted by the first control and evaluation unit or the transmitted calibration parameter.

Embodiments of systems and methods for transporting liquefied gas and carbon dioxide (CO2) in a dual-fluid vessel thereby minimizing transportation between locations are disclosed. In an embodiment, the dual-fluid vessel has an outer shell with an outer surface, an outer compartment within the outer shell configured to store liquefied gas, a bladder positioned within the outer compartment configured to store CO2, and insulation positioned between the outer shell and the outer compartment to provide temperature regulation for the liquefied gas when positioned in the outer compartment and CO2 in the bladder.
