ARCTIC PRINCESS
LNG CARRIER

When completed, Arctic Princess was the largest LNG carrier ever built: 288 meters long with a breadth of 49 m and a capacity of 147,000 cubic meters of LNG.  She is also the first LNG carrier that will be employed for carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the world's northernmost LNG development--Snohvit.  Arctic Princess  is  chartered to the Snohvit Sellers for a period of 20 years.   



The LNG is carried at a temperature of minus 163 degrees centigrade in four Moss containment system spherical tanks, each with a diameter of 42 meters. A full cargo load of LNG is sufficient to cover the yearly energy consumption of all households in a city with a population of 45,000 people.

The Arctic Princess was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI) in Japan.  delivery was on schedule in 2006. She is Moss type (the tanks are spherical in shape.) The Norwegian company Moss Maritime designed the Moss type.

Our first Arctic Princess model (and also the world's first) was commissioned by National Grid/Grain LNG in 2012. We also built a Q Max tanker for the company in 2016.

We build our primarily wood LNG model at the following sizes:

39" long. A beautiful wood base is included  $3,970 Shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $400 flat rate.

32" long (1/350 scale) $3,490 Shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $300 flat rate.

24" long $2,250 Shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $250 flat rate.

Models are built per commissions only. We require only a small deposit (not full amount, not even half) to start the process $900. The remaining balance won't be due until the model is completed, in about six months.

Other ship, different size? Just let us know by clicking on this link: Commissioning. The process will be easy and stress free.

Because you want the best model possible for your proud ownership, be sure to choose a builder wisely. Ship models might look very good from afar but when examined closely, they are quite different. When you see a model whose low price is so tempting, do yourself a favor by looking at its horrible accuracy and terrible craftsmanship. Easiest to spot is the spheres size which is way too small. Such an important feature and they missed. Greatest junk ever exists!  A disgrace to the real ship.
