LNG Carriers are specialised
LNG Carriers are specialised vessels that transport LNG at extremely low temperatures, around -162 degrees Celsius, to keep the gas in a liquid state. These ships are a vital link in the global natural gas supply chain, enabling the bulk movement of LNG from production centres to worldwide markets.
Modern LNG Carriers range from 135,000 to 175,000 m3, but the biggest, like the Q-Flex and Q-Max classes, can carry around 210,000 and 266,000 m3 of LNG.
The biggest LNG Carriers operating today are undoubtedly the Q-Max class, specifically ships like Mozah and her sisters.
These behemoths, operated by Qatargas and Nakilat, have an LNG carrying capacity of 266,000 m3 and a length of 345 m, and a width of 53 to 55 m with a 12 m draft.
14 Q-Max ships are currently operational and feature advanced systems, which will be discussed in this article.
Mozah was built in 2008 by Samsung Heavy Industries and is the world’s largest LNG carrier, a title it
