There is an important international trade in liquefied gases, particularly petroleum and natural gas (LPG and LNG) and exploitation of off-shore resources is increasing. The low temperatures of the products require special measures for their transport and storage. Prestressed concrete has been used successfully for land storage and its characteristics make it potentially valuable for marine applications. Several schemes for concrete gas carriers and floating storage facilities have been proposed. However, the future is complicated, not just by technical factors but by reluctance to innovate among owners and operators and political, environmental, safety and legislative considerations.
