    摘要: A fluid cargo handling system includes a marine manifold tower system and a floating marine platform on which is carried a liquid manifold assembly which is coupled to a cryogenic liquid transfer hose extending from the floating marine platform to the marine manifold tower system. The cryogenic liquid transfer hose is also connected to a cryogenic hose manifold assembly mounted on the marine manifold tower system. The marine manifold tower system includes an elongated tower having a first end secured to the seabed and a second end supporting the cryogenic hose manifold assembly, elevating the cryogenic hose manifold assembly above the water surface. The floating marine platform moves between a first position adjacent the marine manifold tower system and a second position, spaced apart from the marine manifold tower system, where the floating marine platform is in fluid communication with a fluid cargo transport vessel.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a coupling nozzle for cryogenic fluid. A coupling nozzle includes a flow body. The coupling nozzle includes a mount, a flow control assembly, and a pneumatic cylinder. The pneumatic cylinder includes a cylinder body and a shaft. The shaft is coupled to and configured to actuate the flow body. The coupling nozzle includes a first locking mechanism coupled to the mount and configured to secure the coupling nozzle to a receptacle in a locked position. When the first locking mechanism is in the locked position, the shaft is configured to actuate the flow control assembly. The coupling nozzle includes a redundant locking mechanism including one or more feet and a lock. The one or more feet are configured to engage the lock to prevent the first locking mechanism from transitioning from the locked position when the shaft is in the extended position.
