The article deals with the application of transportation technology of compressed natural gas in the development of offshore deposits of the Black Sea. The main purpose of the research is to develop recommendations for improvement of unloading terminals and modes of operation. Laying of two branches of connecting gas pipeline and use of them as a buffer capacity enables maintenance of the critical mode of gas leakage and the introduction of the compression equipment in circumstances where the gas pressure at the outlet of the compressor exceeds the pressure in the cargo tanks system. Observance of the recommendations concerning modes of unloading terminals facilitates implementation of unloading process with minimum energy and material costs. The research results can be used to successfully implement the project of gas transportation in the compressed state of different options for their implementation. For detailed justification of the modes of unloading terminals it is necessary an information about volumes of the transported gas using CNG technology and conditions of laying and connecting of the branches of connecting gas pipeline to the existing gas transportation infrastructure.
