Research Summary
A large LNG (liquefied natural gas) carrier is a specialized ship designed to transport liquefied natural gas over long distances. These carriers are typically massive vessels with capacities ranging from 100,000 cubic meters to over 250,000 cubic meters of LNG. LNG carriers are equipped with advanced insulation and containment systems to keep the LNG at extremely low temperatures, typically around -162 degrees Celsius (-260 degrees Fahrenheit), to maintain it in its liquid state. The cargo containment systems may include membrane tanks or independent tanks made of specialized materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy. Large LNG carriers are also equipped with sophisticated onboard systems for cargo handling, including pumps, compressors, and vaporizers, to manage the loading, unloading, and regasification processes. These ships play a crucial role in the global LNG trade, facilitating the transportation of natural gas from production facilities to distribution centers and end-users around the world.
