  • Abstract
    Global energy demand especially natural gas is expected to grow due to high world oil prices. Natural gas composed mostly of methane is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. Thus, offering an alternative fuel and at the same time has ability to reduces the environment impact. LNG carrier has been successfully used to transport this fuel across the globe, despite being complex, expensive and potentially hazardous cargo. However, there is some area need to pay more attention in order to reduce the overall costs of this carrier.
