ABS sees potential for nuclear-powered LNG carriers
Sep 18, 2024 · The report notes that large liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier vessels are increasing in demand as the international LNG trade remains important for global energy security. LNG is stored on board in large cryogenic tanks that maintain natural gas (primarily methane) in a liquid state around -165°C.
The intended scope of this study is to consider and discuss a standard liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier design using nuclear power for propulsion and other primary energy needs. Driven by the current ambiguous regulatory environment, market …
