LNG tank, heat flux calculation and holding time verification in regards to insulation performance

(OP)
Good day,

I'm having some troubles with the holding time calculation for a LNG tank. In the supplied xls file you have the calculation.
I got the max heat flow to the tank and the max daily evaporation losses. With that info i calculated that the first opening of the safety valve will be in 28 days (not sure about that calculation).

How would I calculate if this setup would hold for 60 days within the required parameters? For now, I presumed the heat flux through the insulation at 2W/m2 ?
If I left something out in the xls file please let me know.

Thank you very much for your help.

Marko
