Safe & Reliable through proven technology

Membrane system permits to design for any capacity
Small membrane type LNG carriers have been in operation for decades
Compact & efficient vessel design:

- Best ratio of Cargo-volume vs Gross-tonnage

- Low harbour and operating costs- Safe access to restricted areas, harbours and channels

Cargo-tank design for operational advantages:

- Always adequate draught & trim conditions
- Minimum ballast water requirements
- Low Boil-Off rate
- Cargo volume distribution with full flexibility

Full cargo-range: any LNG quantity can be delivered

For most operating profiles, no need for a reliquefaction plant (case study to be made)
Pressure-rise (up to 0.7 bar) can be implemented on request
Suitable for any propulsion system:
- Single or Twin-screw
- Dual-Fuel engines with Diesel-electric or Diesel-mechanical system
- Others to be examined

Major advantages through Full Double hull (bottom, sides and deck):
- Safe operation even in damaged situation of the double hull
- No flooding of cargo hold in case of minor damage
- No damage of the insulation system by sea-water ingress
- Repair down-time of the vessel limited
- More safety in congested harbour areas leads to better public image.

Membrane LNG carriers: flexible, economic solutions for all requirements.

Type C cargo tanks can be used with increased pressure (typically about 3 to 7 barg).
Heat leakage into cargo tanks of LNG carriers leads to pressure-build-up and an increase in temperature
if no gas is consumed or vented.

The heat will be released or transferred during the discharge operations.

In terminals operating at near atmospheric pressure, receiving LNG with a temperature higher than
-163C will lead to increased Boil-Off which has to be handled, either recondensed, reliquefied or
compressed for send-out to the grid.

Without substantial Boil-Off gas handling equipment, such heated, pressurized LNG can only be
discharged to a tank with the same characteristics (pressurized storage tanks).

Membrane type LNG tanks are at nearly atmospheric pressure. Nevertheless, a pressure rise up to 0.7
barg offers operational flexibility.

Temperature & pressure rise during ballast voyage leads again to increased Boil-Off during the next
loading operation.

"1%#+:61*8

Type C LNG carriers do not need a reliquefaction plant.

This is true only in certain operating profiles, e.g. when such a cargo has been loaded in sub-cold
conditions from an atmospheric onshore LNG storage.

Type C LNG carriers are more flexible in operation: no sloshing issues, partial fillings and pressure-

build-up operations are possible.

In membrane type ships sloshing is taken into account at the design stage and partial fillings are
allowed. Pressure build-up is not useful but can be made to some extent if really needed.

Type C ships can deliver more cargo than membrane carriers since there is no loss due to Boil-Off.

No cargo loss is true but more cargo delivered is wrong considering purpose designed & optimized
new-built ships with the same displacement.
BOG is not a cargo loss but clean, cheap, high energy fuel for the vessel. In this respect, it can be
demonstrated that gas burning ships deliver more gas than ships burning standard marine fuel.

No change of LNG composition during voyage - This is no practical issue.

Safety first.

It is not a myth but a serious issue if increasing the pressure in LNG tanks.

The pressure-built-up LNG carrier was initiated during the time when no dual-fuel Diesel engine
technology was available.

These DF engines are now the State-of-the-Art propulsion technology with proven benefits, which
drastically reduces the need for pressure build-up during the voyage.

Pressurized tanks are heavy. More tank pressure means more tank weight. Since a ship is a weight

equation (Archimedes), basically more ship weight means less cargo weight, or an increased energy
conception.

Since the phenomena of heat ingress are transferred by discharging to the terminal, the need for BoilOff Gas handling is on the receiving side. For terminals at near atmospheric pressure, the investment
cost might be even higher in this case.

For storage tanks with the same capacity for pressure rise, receiving pressurized, warmed gas reduces

in turn their own possibility of pressure rise before reaching their limits. The advantage for the shipoperator becomes the disadvantage for the terminal-operator.

E35)-B*(358
Even not using pressure-build-up, membrane type LNG carriers obtain the same flexibility for the ship
& terminal operators as type C carriers.
Additional features of membrane carriers should be kept in mind, such as best use of the ships volume,
the vessels weight, dimensional restrictions, safety by double hull, investment and operating costs.
A case study for the considered trade should be made for the adequate LNG transport solution.
Well-known myths should be carefully examined before making any choices.
