An introduction to the marine transportation of bulk LNG and the design of LNG carriers
Cryogenics, 1974Abstract The special problems connected with building ships to carry liquefied natural gas are summarized and the different designs of ships at present in use are discussed. Other problems concerned with the marine transport of LNG such as handling, pumping systems, and dealing with boil-off are also considered.

Comparison between conventional LNG carriers and SRV- LNG carriers
2015Up to the middle of the last decade LNG tankers were built only when the gas exploitation project as well as the market to sell it existed. Ships were operating on the basis of the long term Sales and Purchase Agreement, and predetermined terminals for LNG loading and unloading.

LNG Marine Carrier Construction
Marine Technology and SNAME News, 1972The author describes the several concepts around which the existing marine LNG containment designs are formulated. The Kvaerner-Moss spherical containment system without secondary barrier is discussed in some detail. The design analysis of that system is presented in a step-by-step fashion as actually performed, along with descriptions of tank ...

Model Tests: LNG-Carriers in Ice
Volume 2: Ocean Engineering and Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology, 2006Approximately on third of the world’s known and not yet exploited reserves of natural gas are in Russia. The overwhelming majority of these reserves are in Artic and Subarctic areas. But not only in Russia, also in other areas like Canada and USA, natural gas reserves are found in harsh and ice covered environments.

Review of propulsion systems on LNG carriers
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017Vessel ozone depleting emission regulations are regulated in Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention, wherein the maximum levels of NOx, SOx and suspended particles are established. These increasingly strict regulations, together with the increase in natural gas consumption and its price, have conditioned propulsion systems implemented on board vessels ...

Modeling underwater penetration of LNG carrier
Process Safety Progress, 2008AbstractAn underwater breach of a tank in a double‐hulled LNG carrier poses several challenging questions to be addressed by an adequate model. This article describes a model that accounts for the following phenomena: (1) LNG tank vapor space pressure decreasing by the piston effect of outflow (the effect a decreasing water level pulling down the ...

Design for safe and efficient LNG Carriers
SNAME Maritime Convention, 2005The market demands for larger freight volumes are pushing the LNG industry towards larger vessels, new concepts and new technical solutions. Alternative machinery installations are being investigated including one steam turbine, one/two slow speed diesel(s), one/two dual fuel engine(s), one/two gas turbine(s) and one/two diesel electric installation(s).

Dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers
SNAME Maritime Convention, 2005Sixteen dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers, featuring sixty-four dual-fuel engines, have been ordered so far by six different ship owners at four different shipyards. More orders for dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers are expected anytime soon, and dual-fuel-electric machinery starts to become an established standard in LNG carrier propulsion and electric ...
