SHIP FOR TRANSPORTATION OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS AND METHOD OF ITS CONSTRUCTION Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B63B25/16 B63B73/10 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of transport shipbuilding, means of marine transportation and storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and concerns creation of a gas carrier vessel and cargo container for transportation and storage of LNG. Disclosed is a vessel for LNG transportation, comprising LNG storage and transportation containers installed on housing by means of pliable supports, comprising heat insulated shells consisting of several layers, at least two of which are metal and sealed, wherein one of them is in contact with liquefied gas and is supported by the set and bulkheads, wherein the metal sealed layers are made of hollow aluminum panels welded together to form a multilayer shell, wherein the multilayer shell together with the set and bulkheads connected to it form a strong container structure, and between ship hull and strong vessel structure is multilayer heat insulation from easily deformed elements with hollow areas. Also disclosed is a method of constructing a gas carrier vessel with cargo tanks for LNG.

EFFECT: technical result consists in improvement of strength and operational reliability of cargo container for transportation and storage of LNG, reduced probability of its leakage, reduced duration of construction of vessel and cost of gas carrier.
