Abstract (en)

A hydrocarbon load is supplied from a starting location (4) to a destination (8). The hydrocarbon load is provided at the starting location, and transported from the starting location (4) to an intermediate location (6). At the intermediate location (6) the hydrocarbon load is conditioned to provide a conditioned hydrocarbon load in the liquid state and at a pressure of about 1 to 2 bar. The conditioned hydrocarbon is present in a tank (15). This tank (15) comprising the conditioned hydrocarbon is transported from the intermediate location (6) to the destination (8), to provide a hydrocarbon load comprising the conditioned hydrocarbon in the liquid state and at a pressure from about 1 to 2 bar at the destination (8).
