Gas carriers

Gas carriers are vessels specifically designed for the transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other types of gas products. These specialized ships are equipped with advanced technology and systems to ensure the safe and efficient transport of gas in its liquid state.

Gas carriers are crucial in the global energy trade, as they enable the transportation of natural gas over long distances, connecting suppliers and consumers across the world. LNG, in particular, has become an increasingly popular energy source due to its low environmental impact and efficiency.

These vessels are designed with double hulls and insulated cargo tanks to prevent leakage and maintain the temperature of the gas. Gas carriers are equipped with advanced navigation systems, gas-handling equipment, and safety features to ensure the smooth and secure transport of the cargo.
