Shipbuilding - LNG Transport Ships

Project Overview

· LNG (liquefied natural gas) transport ships use Invar Steel to maintain zero leakage in an environment of -163 ℃.

Steel application

· Liquid cargo hold: 0.7mm thick Yinwa steel film

· Hull: EH36 high-strength steel

Technical highlights

· The welding process error of Yinwa Steel needs to be less than 0.1mm, which is only mastered by a few companies worldwide.

Achievements

· The single ship transportation volume reaches 170000 cubic meters, and the cost of steel accounts for 30% of the total cost.
