Cryogenic Cryogenic Transport Vessels
Cryogenic transport vessels are mobile containers designed for over-the-road delivery of cryogenic liquids from production facilities to customer locations. These vessels are mounted on semi-trailers, straight trucks, or rail cars and must meet stringent transportation regulations while maintaining excellent thermal performance during transit.
Why are Cryogenic Cryogenic Transport Vessels Needed?
Cryogenic transport vessels are the vital link in the industrial gas supply chain, enabling delivery of liquid nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and LNG from production plants to customers throughout the distribution network. Efficient transport vessels minimize product loss during delivery and maximize payload capacity.
Cryogenic Cryogenic Transport Vessels Applications
Common applications include:
- Industrial gas delivery service
- LNG fuel distribution
- Medical gas delivery
- Bulk liquid delivery to storage tanks
- Emergency and backup supply delivery
- Inter-plant product transfer

Cryogenic Cryogenic Transport Vessels Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What DOT specifications apply to cryogenic transports?
Cryogenic transport vessels for highway service must comply with DOT MC-338 specifications found in 49 CFR 178.338. These specifications cover design, construction, testing, and marking requirements for cryogenic cargo tanks. We fabricate vessels meeting all DOT requirements for immediate road service.
What payload capacity is achievable?
Payload capacity depends on trailer configuration and product density. Typical nitrogen/oxygen/argon transports carry 4,000-6,000 gallons of product. LNG transports may carry up to 15,000 gallons. We optimize vessel design to maximize payload within legal weight limits for your operating routes.
Can transport vessels be designed for multiple products?
Yes, transport vessels can be designed for multiple cryogenic products with appropriate cleaning procedures between loads. However, oxygen service requires dedicated equipment due to oxygen-clean requirements. We can advise on multi-product vessel feasibility for your specific product mix.
