Cryogenic Pressure Vessels for Transportation and Logistics
Cryogenic pressure vessels for transportation and logistics are specialized containers designed for vehicle fuel systems, delivery vehicle tanks, intermodal transport, and cold chain logistics. These vessels enable efficient movement of cryogenic products and support the growing use of LNG and hydrogen as transportation fuels.
Why are Cryogenic Pressure Vessels Needed for Transportation and Logistics?
Transportation applications demand cryogenic vessels optimized for mobile service, from vehicle fuel tanks to delivery equipment to intermodal containers. The growth of LNG as a transportation fuel and emerging hydrogen vehicles create expanding demand for transportation-focused cryogenic vessel solutions.

Cryogenic Pressure Vessels for Transportation and Logistics FAQs
What cryogenic fuels are used for transportation?
LNG is the primary cryogenic transportation fuel today, used in heavy trucks, marine vessels, and rail locomotives. Liquid hydrogen is emerging for fuel cell vehicles, with several OEMs developing hydrogen trucks and buses. Both require specialized cryogenic fuel tanks designed for vehicle integration and safety.
What regulations apply to cryogenic transport vessels?
Transport vessels require DOT MC-338 certification for US highway service, TC certification for Canada, ADR/RID for European road/rail, and IMO certification for maritime transport. Vehicle fuel tanks require additional certifications from NHTSA, EPA, and CARB. We provide vessels meeting all applicable transport regulations.
How long can LNG vehicle tanks hold fuel without venting?
Modern LNG vehicle fuel tanks provide 5-10 day hold times before pressure relief occurs. This is adequate for vehicles in regular service but may require attention for vehicles parked for extended periods. Tank design optimizes the balance between thermal performance, weight, and cost for specific vehicle applications.
