An LNG Carrier, also known as a gas tanker or LNG tanker, is a specially designed vessel built to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) via waterways.
There are around 700 active LNG Carriers in the world, including floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) and floating storage units (FSUs), simply called floating LNG vessels.
Also sometimes referred to as a methane tanker, these LNG vessels are designed to handle the nature of LNG, as it cannot be shipped in regular cargo vessels.
This is because LNG is kept at either pressures far greater than atmospheric pressures or very low temperatures of around -162 degrees Celsius, or a combination of both to keep it in a liquid state.
LNG Carriers have highly insulated tanks, which keep the LNG in a liquid state.
Features of LNG Carriers
