ABSTRACT

Liquefying natural gas by cooling it down to −163°C results to a considerable reduction of its volume, which makes it ideal for transportation (greater fuel density, lower storage weight). Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has been transported for many years by using LNG carriers. In recent years, LNG infrastructure has developed to use LNG as a fuel for propulsion and auxiliary power generation also for other ship types, like Ro-Ro and smaller RO-PAX ferries.
