Domestic LNG Carrier Kakuyumaru Delivered
Oct. 31, 2013
Tokyo, October 31, 2013 — 花蜜直播app, Ltd. announced that it has delivered the LNG carrier Kakuyumaru (花蜜直播app hull no. 1706) to Tsurumi Sunmarine Co., Ltd. today at its Sakaide Shipyard. This vessel is the fifth 2,500 m3-type domestic LNG carrier to be developed by 花蜜直播app.
Features
- This vessel is a small-type LNG carrier intended mainly for domestic use. It is equipped with two cryogenic pressure tanks developed with 花蜜直播app's proven technology.
- The tanks are designed to provide optimal thermal insulation, as well as absorb low-temperature contraction for holding LNG, which is liquefied at -163°C. The cylindrical-shaped tanks are arranged horizontally in cargo holds, detached from the hull.
- The tanks are also designed to withstand pressure so that boil-off gas (BOG) generated from the LNG due to external heat can be contained.
- The cargo tanks are protected against collisions and grounding accidents by a double-hull structure. As with larger LNG Carriers, the tanks also feature external covers for added protection and insulation.
- This vessel is powered by a diesel engine since it does not require BOG treatment as in conventional large-scale LNG Carriers.
