Stern Slamming of an LNG Carrier

Volume 5: Materials Technology; CFD and VIV, 2008
Rational assessment of stern slamming of a large twin screw LNG carrier comprised prediction of hydrodynamic impact loads and their effects on the dynamic global structural behavior of the hull girder. Linear theory obtained regular equivalent waves that caused maximum relative normal velocities at critical locations underneath the ship’s stern ...

Propulsion Solution for Icebreaking LNG Carriers

Offshore Technology Conference, 2021
Abstract Since 2007 the traffic volumes in the arctic seas have substantially increased, especially in the North-East Passage following the development of major oil and gas projects. In development of icebreaking LNG tankers the selection of propulsion system is playing a major role determining the vessel performance, safety and ...

Financing LNG carriers

Marine Policy, 1979
Abstract The author examines the various methods of finance for LNG carriers at each stage of funding. First, he describes the various factors involved in the funding of LNG carriers, and continues by highlighting the different methods of finance. He concludes by summarizing the prospects for shipping finance in a severely depressed ship sale and ...

Membrane Tank Lng Carriers

Revue de l'Institut Français du Pétrole, 1996
This document describes the two membranes containment systems developed by the company Gaztransport & Technigaz for the transportation at sea of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and applied by several shipyards in Europe, United States, Japan and Korea.

A Novel LNG Tank Containment Design for Large LNG Carriers

Day 2 Thu, October 20, 2005, 2005
new concept for Large LNG carriers is proposed. This design utilizes membrane tanks with a cross section that reduces the liquid free surface inside the tanks. This reduced free surface results in lower sloshing impact loads on the tank membrane and insulation, extending membrane technology to larger LNG carriers than have hitherto been possible ...

LNG Marine Carrier Construction

Marine Technology and SNAME News, 1972
The 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 ...

Dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers

SNAME Maritime Convention, 2005
Sixteen 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 ...

Model Tests: LNG-Carriers in Ice

Volume 2: Ocean Engineering and Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology, 2006
Approximately 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.

Modification of LNG Carriers for Regasification

Offshore Technology Conference, 2003
Introduction This paper addresses the issues surrounding the modification of existing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers to act as floating storage and provide regasification facilities. In the context of studies undertaken, 'existing' may refer to an LNG vessel of any age ranging from one in excess of 20 years ...

Comparison between conventional LNG carriers and SRV- LNG carriers

2015
Up 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.
