Transcripción del abstract original del autor: The following paper describes an innovative method of CNG transportation. The method utilizes composite pressure vessels which are derived from the national defense / aerospace, and natural gas vehicle industries. The method overcomes all of the deficiencies anticipated from other proposed methods of CNG transportation that propose to use steel based gas containment systems. Existing container ships may be optimized through the use of the cassette gas containment system. The cassette system also isolates composite gas pressure vessels from ship-induced forces. Being modular, installation and removal of cassettes would be relatively easy. The cassette storage system will provide significant economic advantage over potential competitors commencing with a pilot project. This paper will conclude that The Trans Ocean Gas CNG Transportation Method, offers a high level of safety, reliability, and economic feasibility.
