Embodiment Construction

[0020] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the LNG tanker is connected in sequence from the front to the bow 10 , the tank section 12 , the engine room 14 and the stern 16 , and the upper part of the engine room is provided with a living area 18 and then a wheelhouse 20 . The tank compartment 12 is divided into a plurality of compartments by transverse partitions 22, a spherical independent tank 24 is provided in the front compartment 23, and a diaphragm tank 26 is formed in the second to fifth compartments.

[0021] image 3 It is a cross-sectional view of a diaphragm tank. The hull has a two-layer hull structure at the bottom and side of the ship. By applying a heat-resistant layer 30 to the surface of these inner shells 28, the surface of the heat-resistant layer is covered with a diaphragm 32 in a liquid-tight manner. And the membrane type tank 26 is formed. In order to increase the tank capacity, the head of each diaphragm tank 26 protrudes upward through the uppe...

Abstract

Intended is to provide an LNG tanker, which can have a large tank capacity and which can be easily constructed. Further intended is to reduce the sloshing of a membrane type tank in a rough weather. The foremost LNG tank is constituted of a spherical independent type tank (24), and all succeeding tanks are constituted of membrane type tanks (26). Specifically, the membrane type tanks (26) are formed by performing a heat insulation in the hull inner shell and by covering their surfaces with membranes. During the voyage, the liquid cargo (LNG) in the spherical independent type tank (24) is transferred to the other membrane type tanks (26), thereby to restore the quantity of the liquid cargo, which has been reduced by the generation of the boil-off gas, of the membrane type tanks (26).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to offshore transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Background technique [0002] Since LNG emits less nitrogen oxide or sulfurous acid gas when it is burned, the need for clean energy is increasing every year. LNG is a substance that has been liquefied by cooling natural gas down to -160°C. The tanks of LNG carriers transporting this substance at sea use low-temperature materials that can withstand a wide range of temperature changes. Stress structure. In addition, because the LNG carrier undertakes the mission of high-speed and large-scale transportation, it generally has a sailing speed of about 20 knots, and the hull tends to be larger. Now it is planned that the tank capacity will exceed 200,000m 3 LNG carrier. [0003] In the existing LNG carriers, the LNG tanks mounted on it are roughly divided into two types, one is a spherical independent tank method, and the other is a diaphragm method (for example, U.S...
