MOSS™ LNG CARRIERS


 
 MOSS™ LNG CARRIERS
The Moss™ LNG carrier with spherical LNG tanks represents the safest and most reliable LNG containment system on the market. The spherical tank offers simplicity in fabrication and operation, and after more than 30 years of operation the Moss® LNG tank design remains unmatched in terms of reliability and unplanned off-hire.

The simplicity of the spherical shape of the Moss® LNG tank enables high accuracy of predicted stresses and fatigue life of all parts of the tank structure, thereby eliminating the need for a full secondary barrier.

Partial loading at any tank filling level is inherent in the design, making both existing and new Moss™ LNG carriers superior to other containment designs when handling spot trades and offshore loading/unloading.

Moss® LNG tanks are independent from the ship's hull and are neither essential to the hull strength nor affected by possible damage to the ship's hull. This is a key element in the safe operation of LNG carriers.

  • Tank volumes 147,000 - 270,000 m3

  • 4-5 spherical tanks per LNG carrier

  • Service speed: 19.5 - 22.0 knots

  • Propulsion: Slow speed diesel engines, steam turbines, dual fuel diesel electric or combined cycle gas turbines, using either single or twin screws

The simplicity of the Moss® LNG tank contributes to the safe and reliable operation of LNG carriers
