Abstract: The invention relates to a system for storing liquid hydrogen and for distributing gaseous hydrogen, comprising a source of liquid hydrogen (20), at least two gaseous hydrogen tanks (31-35) to be filled and a transfer device comprising: a transfer unit (25) configured to transfer liquid hydrogen from the hydrogen source (20) to any of the tanks, a vapour compressor (10) having a first upstream end and a second downstream end fluidly connected to each of the tanks, a set of valves (51-55), a control device configured to issue a command to transfer the liquid hydrogen and to open and/or close one or more valves (51-55), the compressor (10) being arranged so as to transfer vapours created during filling from any tank to each of the other tanks in succession, by compressing the vapors to a pressure greater than the pressure in the tank during filling.
