W?rtsil? Cargo Handling for small LNG Carriers

There is a growing demand for small-scale transportation of LNG to end users that are located in areas where pipelines are not feasible or economically viable. Typically, such end users are power generation plants, land based industries, and suppliers of LNG as fuel for vehicles or ships. Wärtsilä has developed a Cargo Handling System, the design of which is based on the extensive experience that Wärtsilä Gas Solutions has accumulated in delivering such systems for LPG, LEG and LNG carriers. The available scope includes: 

• Cargo handling system
• Boil-off gas handling
• Cargo tank design and complete tank delivery
• Ship design
• LNG fuel supply system

We provide designs for small size LNG Carriers carrying LNG only, or Multi Gas Carriers able to carry all types of gas cargo. Typically these ships are between 4 000 and 40 000 m3.
