DOT portable vessels on sea ships

[alexst]

Hi,
I'd like to ask about portable DOT cryogenic vessel being installed on the sea ships- are there any particular regulations which applied to design and operation? What part of DOT, beside the 176.76, is relevant to the installation on sea ship?
And also- portable vessel installed permanently at sea vessel- does it become technically a "cargo vessel"?
I appreciate any opinion

you need the vessel code certification. expensive certs, hard to get

Thanks, GenB. Could you point me to the right direction- codes or organizations which are in charge of this?
Thanks
