    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reliquefying boil-off gas (BOG) containing volatile components, the method comprising the following steps: a) compressing a BOG stream, wherein the BOG stream exits a final compression stage as a finally compressed BOG stream having a final pressure; b) condensing the finally compressed BOG stream to obtain an at least partly condensed, finally compressed fluid stream; c) providing a fluid receptacle having a fluid stream inlet and a fluid stream outlet, wherein the position of the fluid stream outlet is selected such that it is above a predefined fluid containment volume; d) feeding the fluid stream from step b) through the fluid stream inlet into the fluid receptacle; e) setting a liquid level setpoint for the fluid receptacle such that the liquid level setpoint is at the level of the upper edge of the fluid stream outlet or a predefined amount above it; f) setting an upper final pressure limit for the final compression stage; g) measuring the liquid level in the fluid receptacle; h) measuring the final pressure; i) discharging a fluid stream from the fluid receptacle through the fluid stream outlet; j) cooling the fluid stream from step i) to a temperature equal to the saturation temperature of the fluid stream at a pressure lower than the final pressure, in order to condense gaseous components of the fluid stream; k) transferring the cooled fluid stream when the measured liquid level is at least equal to the liquid level setpoint and/or when the measured final pressure is equal to the final pressure limit. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.

    Abstract: A method for automatically electronically associating vessel identity information of a vessel with an unassociated telemetric device, the unassociated telemetric device comprising a processor and being configured to detect and transmit quantity or usage data and being configured with a location sensing device, wherein the unassociated telemetric device is configured to communicate with a remote server, the method comprising the steps of: the remote server receiving the vessel identity information comprising a deployment location for the unassociated telemetric device; the unassociated telemetric device operating in accordance with an automatic action rule; in response to the unassociated telemetric device operating in accordance with the automatic action rule, the processor receiving location information of the unassociated telemetric device from the location sensing device; the unassociated telemetric device transmitting the location information; the remote server receiving the location information; the remote server correlating the location information with the vessel identity information when resolving that the location information represents that the unassociated telemetric device is within a proximity to the deployment location, and the remote server automatically electronically associating the unassociated telemetric device with the vessel identity information, resulting in the unassociated telemetric device becoming an associated telemetric device, so that when the associated telemetric device generates quantity or usage information, the quantity or usage information transmitted by the associated telemetric device is applied to a data store of the remote server related to the vessel identity information.

    Abstract: A pressure vessel includes: a liner made of a resin and configured to store a pressurized fluid; and a reinforcing layer made of a fiber-reinforced resin provided around an outer peripheral surface of the liner. The liner includes a body portion having a tubular shape and a pair of side-end portions each having a domical shape. One of the side-end portions extends continuously from one of two ends of the body portion, and the other one of the side-end portions extends continuously from the other one of the two ends of the body portion. The liner includes a restriction portion provided at a center of the liner in an axial direction of the body portion. The restriction portion is configured to restrict displacement of the reinforcing layer in the axial direction.
