LNG carrier

Ships of this type are the largest LNG carriers in the world.

In recent years, the size and capacity of LNG carriers has increased greatly.

The jetty will be able to handle loading of around 160 LNG carriers per year.

A terminal able to receive LNG carriers is built by Total.

Similar to an LNG carrier the boil off gas can be used for propulsion of the ship.

Steam powered LNG carriers however, also burn natural gas.

In the modern fleet of LNG carriers, there is an interesting exception concerning ship size.

Its fleet consists of some 200 containerships, bulk and LNG carriers.

New LNG carriers (a high growth area of shipping) continue to be built with steam turbines.

The terminal will receive a LNG carrier every three days from Qatar.

Per April, 2012, the company owns and operates the following LNG carriers:

It primarily produces specialized commercial vessels, including LNG carriers, oil tankers and passenger cruise ships.

As a result of this, the accommodation areas of visiting LNG carriers are also at maximum distance from critical safety equipment.

The tanks on board an LNG carrier effectively function as giant thermoses to keep the liquid gas cold during storage.

Gaselys is a LNG carrier of Gaz de France.

She was the first Japan-built and first Asia-built LNG carrier.

LNG arrives on specially designed ships known as LNG carriers.

MV Methane Princess was the first LNG carrier taken into service (1964).

When taken into service in 2007, she and her sister-ship Provalys were the largest LNG carriers in existence.

Specially designed cryogenic sea vessels (LNG carriers) or cryogenic road tankers are used for its transport.

The mild steel models were designed to represent side or bottom structures typical in double hull tankers or LNG carriers.

It has gained a worldwide reputation in the bulk carrier service as well as services including container ships, oil tankers and LNG carriers.

LNG storage tanks can be found in ground, above ground or in LNG carriers.

Another factor driving the change from turbines to diesel engines for LNG carriers is the shortage of steam turbine qualified seagoing engineers.

Overall, it is estimated that Q-Max carriers have about 40% lower energy requirements and carbon emissions than conventional LNG carriers.
