A vapor taker system, a vessel-based solution to accommodate vapor destruction during hydrocarbon loading and/or lightering, is disclosed. The vapor taker has vapor destruction equipment, support fuel, and accommodation for loading hose connections as necessary to comply with air emissions requirements for the destruction of volatile organic compounds. The vapor taker system can be modular or fully integrated into a marine vessel such as a ship, barge, tanker, and so forth.

The spilled fuel collection system is configured for use with the fuel vent of a vessel. The fuel vent is designed to release gas and fuel during an event selected from the group consisting of: a) a build-up of gas pressure within the fuel tank; and, b) overfilling the fuel tank with fuel. The spilled fuel collection system is an accessory that captures fuel and fuel vapors that escape through the fuel vent of a vessel during the fueling process. The spilled fuel collection system comprises a transportable fuel container, a hose, and a quick connect fitting. The transportable fuel container captures the fuel and vapor that escape through the fuel vent. The hose transports the escaped fuel and vapor from the fuel vent into the transportable fuel container. The quick connect fitting secures the hose to the fuel vent.

An oil tanker is provided with a cargo oil delivery pipe for connecting a cargo oil pump in a pump room arranged in front of an engine room in a rear portion of a hull to a shore connection provided nearly in a central portion on the upper deck of the hull, and a cargo suction pipe for connecting the cargo oil pump to a cargo oil tank. The cargo oil delivery pipe is passed through a cargo tank area below the upper deck of the hull and is extended forward from the pump room and is passed through the upper deck and is connected to a cross pipe and is coupled to the shore connection.

Herein a floating vessel is disclosed. The floating vessel comprises a deck member and a tank for liquefied hydrocarbon gas such as LNG. The tank extends through the deck member, and the tank is supported by the deck member, suspended at less than of a total height of the tank, seen from the top of the tank.
