The present invention relates to a system for cooling a liquefied gas storage tank of a vessel and a method thereof, which can cool a liquefied gas storage tank to condense evaporation gas while simultaneously suppressing generation of evaporation gas. To this end, the system for cooling a liquefied gas storage tank of a vessel according to the present invention comprises: a liquefied gas storage tank which stores liquefied gas; a fuel cell which uses a hydrogen gas as a reactant to produce electricity by means of an electrochemical reaction; a liquefied hydrogen storage tank which stores hydrogen to be used as fuel of a fuel cell in a liquid phase; and a supercooling machine which performs supercooling with respect to the liquefied gas by allowing liquefied hydrogen which is to be supplied from the liquefied hydrogen storage tank to the fuel cell and the liquefied gas which is to be cooled and has been discharged from the liquefied gas storage tank to exchange heat with each other. The liquefied gas which has been supercooled and has been discharged from the supercooling machine may be collected to the liquefied gas storage tank. Therefore, the liquefaction performance of evaporation gas may be improved.
