The on-board re-liquefaction system reduces LNG losses, which produces economic and environmental benefits. Overall, it is estimated that Q-Flex carriers have about 40% lower energy requirements and carbon emissions than conventional LNG carriers. [4] The capacity of a Q-Flex vessel is between 165,000 m 3 and 216,000 m 3. [5]
The size and capacity of LNG carriers has increased significantly, [8] to 170,000 cubic metres (6,000,000 cu ft). A vessel could cost $200 million. [7] Since 2005, Qatargas has pioneered the development of two new classes of LNG carriers, referred to as Q-Flex and Q-Max. Each ship has a cargo capacity of between 210,000 and 266,000 cubic metres ...
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]
Mozah is a Q-Max LNG carrier operated by Qatargas II. The vessel was built in 2008 by Samsung Heavy Industries and is tied with her sister ships for the largest LNG carrier in the world. [1] The vessel is part of a contract for 14 same-size ships with maximum particulars to berth at Ras Laffan terminal in Qatar.
A LNG pier could accommodate LNG carriers of a range of sizes. [8] They may be capable of handling LNG tankers of 70,000 to 217,000 cubic metres (m 3 ) cargo capacity ( Q-Flex ); or tankers of 125,000 to 266,000 m 3 cargo capacity ( Q-Max ). [ 9 ]

In the modern fleet of LNG carriers, there is an interesting exception concerning ship size. This is the introduction of several smaller ships of between 18,000 and 19,000 m 3 (640,000 and 670,000 cu ft) having been built in 1994 and later to service the needs of importers of smaller volumes.
