LNG CARRIER MODEL
This model was commissioned by the
president of
LNG Allies. Compare
this model with others worldwide to see how much
we are far ahead in the model ship business.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the
transition fuel of choice for marine stakeholders as the
world moves towards net-zero emissions. Global demand
for LNG has led to huge investments in production,
infrastructure and the international development of
distribution networks, fueling increased demand for LNG
shipping.
The first LNG tanker ever
put to sea was the
Methane Pioneer in 1959. In the early 1970s, the US
government encouraged US shipyards to build LNG
carriers, and a total of 16 LNG ships were built. The
late 1970s and early 1980s brought the prospect of
Arctic LNG ships with a number of projects being
studied. LNG carriers face a range of technical,
structural and safety challenges, as vessels require
sophisticated technology to transport and maintain their
liquefied cargo. This in turn makes LNG shipping a
capital-intensive business. A modern vessel could cost
$200 million.
Since 2005, Qatargas has
pioneered the development of two new classes of LNG
tankers, referred to as Q-Flex and
Q-Max. Each ship has
a cargo capacity of between7,400,000 and 9,400,000 cu ft
and is equipped with a re-liquefaction plant.
At the end of 2016, the
global LNG shipping fleet consisted of 439 vessels. At
the end of 2018, it was approximately 550 ships.
In 2021—2022, an LNG
shipment from USA to Europe could return a profit of
$133—200 million. Shipping rates were average $100,000
per day even for 5-year contracts.
This primarily wood model of the LNG Endeavour tanker is 40"
x 12" x 7". The real LNG Endeavour is 293m long and has a capacity of 174,000
m3 in Mark 3 Flex membrane tanks. The model was
commissioned by
LNG Allies
in
2023.
