Natural gas is presently the most desired energy carrier and the development of liquified natural gas (LNG) technology results in the global dimension of the gas trade. A dynamic increase in orders for ships transporting natural gas was observed in the last few years. It results from the fact that natural gas has become third source of energy in the world, after petroleum and coal. General characteristics of newly built ships for LNG transport, including the design of the hull shape, the loading space and the main propulsion system were presented. Construction features of the spherical, membrane and prismatic LNG cargo tankers were given. The properties of natural gas and LNG safety problems were taken into consideration. The advantages and disadvantages of an innovative technology for transportation of compressed natural gas were also outlined.
