There are two basic types of cargo containment systems which are generally referred to as incorporating either membrane or Moss Rosenberg technology. In both cases, the containment system is designed to serve two purposes: To contain LNG cargo at cryogenic temperatures (-160 degree C). To insulate the cargo from the hull structure.

The LNG 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.

Moss Maritime is developing key solutions for the maritime gas industry. The Moss LNG carrier is a signature design in the LNG industry and on this basis Moss has developed designs for ship transport of liquefied CO2 and H2.

LNG Rivers, a Moss-type carrier with a capacity of 135,000 cubic metres (4,770,000 cu ft) An LNG carrier is a tank ship designed for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Jan 2, 2025 · Moss Type: These carriers have a Moss-type cargo containment system, which is made up of spherical tanks that are supported by an internal framework. The tanks are designed to contain the cargo in a liquid state and prevent leaks.

All types of LNG carriers are double-hull vessels, but there exist different cargo containment systems of independent or integrated cargo tanks. The current LNG fleet is dominated by two main...

Moss Maritime has a special position in the maritime LNG industry, having developed the technology for Moss LNG carriers. The Moss spherical LNG tanks are renowned for their reliability and robustness, guaranteeing problem free operation, with no leaks and no sloshing problems.

While accumulating experience in constructing MOSS type LNG carriers, in order to satisfy the needs of our customers such as increased cargo loading capacity, MHI has sought to increase the capacity of the existing MOSS spherical tank.

The document discusses developments to the Moss LNG carrier design that provide a more cost-effective ship. Key points include: 1) The design incorporates a "stretched tank" concept that increases cargo capacity 5% to 144,000 cubic meters without changing the hull dimensions.

Jun 25, 2017 · A new concept of LNG tank shape has been proposed based on the conventional MOSS tank in order to improve the tank storage efficiency. In this research, a series of model tests are conducted for both new shape and conventional spherical shape tank with imposed regular and irregular sway motion.
