The vessel is thefirst in Kawasaki s new line of3,500m3-class domestic LNG Kawasaki s long-accumulated expertise in liquefied gascarriers, the vessel features cryogenicpressure tanks and is intended mainlyfor domestic use. Kawasaki has builtfour domestic LNG carriers to datewith a tank capacity of 2,500m3, andincreased the capacity of this particu-lar vessel to 3, vessel is equipped with twocryogenic pressure tanks, capable ofabsorbing low-temperature contrac-tion, for loading natural gas liquefiedat -163oC. The cylindrical tanks arearranged horizontally in cargo holdsindependent of the tanks are insulated from ex-ternal heat with the Kawasaki PanelSystem, which features a proprietaryinsulation structure.
