Largest LNG Ships

Lloyd's Register is to class all six of the next series of large liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships ordered by Qatar Gas

Transport Co Ltd (NALIKAT) for the fifth train of the Qatargas II project.

These 'Qmax' ships will be the world's largest LNG ships. They will be twin- skeg, driven by two diesel engines and fitted with re-liquefaction plant. They will transport gas from Qatar to the US.

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), with a cargo capacity of 266,000 cu. m., and the other three at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) with a cargo capacity of 263,000 cu. m.. Both yards have recently re-organized their production plants to accommodate the construction of these giant ships.

Some of the engines are from the 27/38 and the 21/31 series, which are produced in Frederikshavn,
