SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING A FLUID PRODUCT, IN PARTICULAR LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURE, BETWEEN A TRANSPORT VESSEL AND A LAND TREATMENT AND STORAGE FACILITY FOR THIS PRODUCT

摘要

The invention concerns a system for transferring a fluid product between a carrier such as a vessel and an installation, in particular fixed, for processing and storing said product. Said system comprises a tubular structure for conveying the product between the vessel and the installation. Said system is characterised in that it comprises a device for connection (17) to the manifold (18) of the vessel (9) and a flexible transfer pipe (19) connected to the installation, the connection device and the pipe are adapted to be connected to each other at their free ends for transferring the fluid product between the vessel and the installation and at least the free end of the flexible transfer pipe (19) is provided with product handling means (11, 26) for displacing said free end between a position for connection with the connection device and a disengaged position for storage. The invention enables the transfer of cryogenic liquefied natural gas.
