Overview of the Features of Specialised Maritime Transport for the Transport of Green Hydrogen

The approach for a thorough evaluation of the structural soundness of type C tanks meant for the storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen is proposed in this work. An assessment process for cargo compartments for liquid hydrogen employing Type C tanks in accordance with MMO specifications is described, and the design assessment procedures used for ships transporting cryogenic cargo are examined. Thermal analysis, structural and fatigue assessments, and, if required, fracture propagation analysis are all part of this process. The established methodology's ability to verify structural integrity was evaluated. The idea and design of specialized tanks for the storage and transportation of green hydrogen on ships destined for use in the Caspian Sea were developed. The main emphasis is on creating cryogenic containers with highly efficient vacuum insulation, which minimizes hydrogen losses by reducing evaporation during transportation. The project envisages the use of materials resistant to extremely low temperatures and mechanical stress, as well as the introduction of thermoregulation systems to maintain stable storage conditions. Particular attention was paid to compliance with international standards, including IMO and IGC Code requirements, which ensures high safety of tank operation.
