LNG carriers

LNG carriers are specialized ships designed to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) across oceans. LNG is natural gas cooled to a liquid state at around -162 degrees Celsius, reducing its volume for efficient shipping. These carriers have insulated tanks to keep the gas cold and prevent it from boiling off. They play a crucial role in global energy supply, enabling countries with limited natural gas resources to import it from gas-rich regions. LNG carriers are vital for international trade, helping to meet energy demand while supporting cleaner fuel alternatives.
