LNG accounts for a significant part of the growth in the global energy supply and despite the recent economic situation the future demand for LNG carriers, floating storage and processing systems is expected to increase.
While some companies are building larger vessels to take advantage of economies of scale, others are looking at developing small vessels for short sea and coastal trades to help create LNG distribution networks. New and improved containment systems are also offering the designer a diverse range of options.
There is also a growing interest in floating production, storage and offloading systems for offshore field development and re-gasification systems (FSRU) and plants designed to avoid the need to construct land based processing and distribution centers.
