Hey guys! Is Balencia here with another video!
Liquified Natural Gas has a diverse range of uses in the commercial, industrial, transportation and energy sectors as it is a clean and environmentally sustainable fuel. Hence the global LNG market has steadily expanded in recent years. This increased worldwide demand has prompted maritime developments for the construction of bigger and better LNG carriers.
Decked with the latest maritime innovations and designed to perfection, these LNG tankers are capable of operating in the toughest areas such as the North Atlantic, filled with ice waters.
In this videos, let us have a look at the world’s biggest LNG Ships of 2022
1. Qmax Ships
Qmax Ships are operated by Qatar Gas, a prominent LNG company. The Qmax LNG carriers are the biggest in the world, wherein the name ‘QMax’ stands for the country of operation and the maximum size of the tanker able to dock at Qatar’s LNG terminal facilities. These LNG tankers use a type of membrane technology that ensures maximum efficiency.
Qatar Gas owns 14 Q-Max Ships with a total LNG capacity between 263,000 to 266,000 m3. The Q-max ships are around 354 m long and 55 m wide, with a maximum draft of 12 m. The construction of these vessels was part of an expansive fleet construction programme that evolved over five decades. These carriers were built in South Korea and currently transport LNG to all major port facilities across the world.The Q-Max ships are known not only for their size but for their other advanced features too. The ships’ engines burn significantly fewer amounts of fuel compared to conventional carriers, hence producing 35% lesser carbon emissions. Another novel feature is the non-carbon fire-extinguishing system, the first of its kind to be used in an LNG carrier. Thus, these carriers have drastically reduced the costs of transportation.
2. QFlex Ships
The QFlex ships’ fleet operated by Qatar Gas comprises the second-biggest LNG carriers in the world. Until the Qmax type ships were not in operation, these were the biggest LNG carriers, capable of carrying twice the amount of LNG carried by conventional tanker ships. The first Q-Flex ship was constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries in 2007.A total of 31 of these LNG Tankers carry LNG to regions like the Far East, Mediterranean, and Europe. Measuring 315 m lengthwise and 50 m breadthwise with a maximum draft of 11 m, these carriers have a carrying capacity of 210,000 to 217,000 m3. They are also claimed to be more environmentally sustainable compared to other LNG carriers since they have fewer fuel requirements and produce fewer emissions. They also possess re-liquefaction technology that decreases loss of LNG from the ships’ tanks. The earliest Q-flex vessels include Al Hamla, Al Aamriya, Al Huwaila etc.
3. Gail Bhuwan
The LNG Tanker named Gail Bhuwan was manufactured in 2021, by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. for Gail Limited, the biggest LNG company in India. The tanker would transport LNG from US facilities to the Indian ports to meet India’s LNG needs and expand this clean fuel market in the nation.
Currently, Gail Bhuwan is registered and is sailing under the flagship of Cyprus. A massive tanker laden with the latest maritime technology, it measures 297.9 m lengthwise and 47.9 m breadthwise, with a maximum draft of 11.5 m.The gross tonnage of the vessel is around 119.891 tonnes and its deadweight is 98.300 tonnes. It has an LNG carrying capacity of 180,000 m3 and a maximum sailing speed of 20 knots, while an average speed of around 15.9 knots approximately. A membrane-type LNG tanker, it is operated by MOL LNG transport Europe LTD.
