Welcome back to LNG4U.
It’s been another busy week across the LNG market, with plenty to cover, from price movements and market shifts to shipping, terminals, offshore projects, and more.
I’ve picked out the stories that stood out to me and are worth a closer look.

What is the material used for the LNG Moss type cargo containment❓
The cargo containment system consists of insulated independent spherical tanks constructed from 👉 aluminium alloy and designed to carry LNG at cryogenic temperatures and at a pressure close to 👉 atmospheric pressure.
The tanks are encased within 👉void spaces and situated in-line from forward to aft within the hull. The spaces between the inner hull and outer hull are used for 👉 ballast and also provide protection to the cargo tanks in the event of an emergency situation, such as a collision or grounding.
There is no FULL secondary barrier as the tanks, primarily due to their spherical construction, have a high degree of safety against fracture or failure. The tanks are heavily insulated with approximately 200 mm of polystyrene foam to reduce boil-off to a minimum 📉.
