Secondary barrier insulation is produced on this 82-meter line, at rates of one meter per minute.

The logs of polyurethane foam insulation are reinforced in three dimensions with strands of glass fiber.

Two proven systems combine to bring a new level of excellence to LNG containment.

The combination of Gaz/Transport and McDonnell Douglas liquefied natural gas barriers into a single containment sys- tem now offers shippers a new high level of volumetric efficiency and excellence in hull protection—at a competitive price.

Each partner contributed 15 years of experience in cryogenic containment to the project.

A proven system, the

Invar metal primary bar- rier, has accumulated 1.7 million sea miles through 1978. The reinforced in- sulation used as a second- ary barrier has been tested for a 20-year service life as a primary barrier.
