ABSTRACT:
Fluid-fluid explosive self-mixing of water and liquid natural gas contained in a cryogenic tank located in a hold of a ship is inhibited, in the event that the hold of the ship and the cryogenic tank are ruptured, by confining an inert gas under pressure in a multiplicity of tubes surrounding the cryogenic tank, the pressure of the inert gas in the tubes being such that the inert gas flows from the tubes to form a blanket of inert gas between liquid natural gas and water upon rupture of any tube or tubes.
