Some of the Safest Vessels on the Seas
Safe transportation of LNG is paramount therefore the tankers that transport it are double-hulled and specifically designed to handle the low temperature of LNG.
|
|
Currently, more than 136 ships world-wide transport in excess of 120 million metric tons of LNG annually to global locations.

LNG Tankers - Safety Design
- LNG ships are rigourously built for safety.
- There has been no loss of life, or significant spillage incident in more than 33,000 voyages.
- LNG ships are constructed with a double hull which provides protection for cargo in the event of a collision, grounding, and from radiant heat.
- Cargo tanks are located away from the hull.
- Gas detectors and safety alarms are situated between the steel hulls, and continuously monitor for cargo leaks.
- A purpose-built fleet of brand new membrane ships has been commissioned which will provide a double barrier for cargo protection.
