Abstract: The article analyzes the modern theory and practice of transportation and storage of compressed natural gas. The expediency of the inclusion of a floating storage berth for the loading of gas carriers and container ships into the infrastructure of marine transportation of compressed natural gas is considered. Requirements for storage berth are formulated. It is shown that without using a marine mooring storage facility, the loading time of a gas carrier will considerably increase, and the economic efficiency of compressed gas transportation will lower due to the considerable time of loading and unloading of a gas carrier. The construction of a storage berth is proposed, and calculations of storage parameters and calculation of its buoyancy are made. The possibility of using the REFPROP vs. 9.1 software package to automate the selection of the composition of a multicomponent hydrocarbon mixture for further use at the selected range of temperatures and pressures is substantiated. The use of the system is considered in the example of phase equilibrium of a multicomponent hydrocarbon mixture.
