ABSTRACT:
An offshore submarine storage facility for highly chilled liquified gas, such as liquified natural gas, is disclosed. The facility includes an elongated, vertically oriented submerged frame. An insulated storage tank is movably mounted to the frame so as to be positionable at various depths in the water. The tank is constructed to transfer external ambient water pressure to the liquified gas without intermixture. This transferred pressure aids in maintaining the liquified state of the stored liquified gas.
