LNG carriers of increasing size have been built since then, leading to the fleet of today, where giant Q-Max LNG ships sail worldwide that can each carry up to 266,000 m 3 (9,400,000 cu ft). A boom in U.S. natural gas production was enabled by hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"), creating large growth in natural gas production from 2010. [2]
With an LNG storage capacity of 263,000 m 3 (9,300,000 cu ft), she is the world's largest floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU). [2] [4] [5] The regasification capacity is 800 million standard cubic feet per day. [3] She features LNG re-shipment and gas transfer capabilities.
Their cargo volume capacity was 27,400 cubic metres (970,000 cu ft), divided between nine prismatic, or prism-shaped, tanks. [1] Unlike the diesel-powered Methane Pioneer, the new ships were powered by a novel system with dual fuel steam turbines, utilising boil-off LNG from the cargo tanks as well as conventional fuel oil.

Freight rates for ships carrying liquefied natural gas have hit an all-time high of $397,500 a day as Europe snaps up alternatives to cut-off Russian flows.
BW's controlled fleet of over 450 ships also includes crude oil supertankers and dry bulk carriers. BW Group currently comprises BW LNG, BW LPG, Navigator Gas, BW Epic Kosan, DHT, Hafnia, BW Dry Cargo, BW Offshore, BW ESS, BW Energy, BW Solar, Cadeler, BW Water, BW Ideol, Corvus Energy, and BW Digital. BW Volans, a Very Large Gas Carrier.
They may be capable of handling LNG tankers of 70,000 to 217,000 cubic metres (m 3) cargo capacity ; or tankers of 125,000 to 266,000 m 3 cargo capacity . [9] The pier would have at least two insulated lines, one for loading and/or unloading LNG and one for vapor supply or recovery as the vapor space above the LNG changes as the cargo is ...
Q-Max is a type of ship, specifically a membrane type LNG carrier. In the name Q-Max, "Q" stands for Qatar and "Max" for the maximum size of ship able to dock at the Liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in Qatar. Ships of this type are the largest LNG carriers in the world. [1] [10]
Höegh LNG is active in the liquefied natural gas industry including LNG carriers. [1] As of January 2015, it is 44.6% owned by Leif Höegh. The largest investors are Allianz, Fairview Capital and Nordea. The Baupost Group announced that it controlled 5.26% of shares for its clients. [2]
