Natural gas has 600 times the volume of LNG. The LNG carrier (.Liquefied Natural Gas) and its cousin the LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) carrier is a product of the late twentieth century. LNG and LPG are the preferred fuel types of certain countries for their industrial power needs. Japan is one such country, and so LNG needs to be transported to Japan but is not the easiest of cargoes to be transported. In its natural states, LNG is a gas so to transported it, it needs to be either pressurized into a liquid by reducing the temperature (simple application of Boy le's Law in physics!).

  3. The shape of LNG Carrier is quite unmistakable, with the shape of the moss tanks (which are like enormous spherical thermos flasks!) visible along the deck, which has led to the nickname of 'Dinosaur Eggs Carrier' Obviously, the carriage of an explosive gas - kept at below freezing temperatures as an unstable liquid present a very dangerous cargo, yet it is for this very fact, that LNG Carrier have about the best safety record of all maritime vessels. Only the best officers meticulously handled it and renewed frequently. There have been accidents involving LNG/LPG carrier, but where such events have occurred, the crews or sailors have so far, successfully managed to vent off the cargo into the atmosphere, thus rendering the lethal cargo harmless. Propane, butane - mixtures derived from oil refining or natural gas fractionation. For convenience of transportation, these gases are liquefied through pressurization.
