The invention relates to an insulation arrangement for a liquefied gas carrying ship wherein the ship has a primary barrier for containing a liquefied gas and a hull, and where the hull is spaced from said primary barrier to define a void between the hull and primary barrier. The hull is insulated with an insulation layer, said layer comprising a plurality of individual tessellating insulation panels.

The invention is a watercraft to aircraft refueling system (WARS). A WARS is a refueling system based from a watercraft, such as a surface ship or submarine. A WARS would typically include an elevation apparatus to lift a refueling hose above the water. The elevation apparatus can compose a lifting or swiveling mechanism. In some embodiments both a lifting and swiveling mechanism is used. The WARS lifts the refueling hose above the water, allowing an aircraft to engage with the WARS. The refueling hose may also include a telescoping mechanism or a rotor apparatus or a pressurized water nozzle system to elevate the refueling hose and assist in engaging a WARS with an aircraft.

Oil tanker and or ore/oil carrier can take more good fuel oil consumption through cargo oil handling by usage of electric motor driven system instead of steam turbine driven cargo pump system. Its merit is about 20%.

To provide a transportation system that can transport renewable energy from a power generation facility to an energy consumption location. The system consists of a power generator that generates and stores electricity from a renewable energy, a hydrogen generator that generates hydrogen by electrolysis of water using electricity obtained from the power generator, a methane synthesizer that generates methane by the Sabatier reaction using the hydrogen and a recycled CO.sub.2 as raw materials, and a methane transportation system that transports the methane without emitting CO.sub.2 to the atmosphere, a methane transportation system that transports the methane without emitting CO.sub.2 into the atmosphere, a power generation and carbon capture unit that generates electricity by reacting the transported methane with oxygen and captures CO.sub.2 discharged during the power generation as recycled CO.sub.2, a CO.sub.2 transportation system that transports the recycled CO.sub.2 to the methane synthesis site without emitting CO.sub.2 to the atmosphere.
