.jpg)
When completed, Arctic Princess was the largest
LNG carrier ever built:
288 meters long with a breadth of 49 m and a
capacity of 147,000 cubic meters of LNG. She is also the first LNG
carrier that will be employed for carrying liquefied
natural gas (LNG) from the world's northernmost LNG
development--Snohvit.
Arctic Princess
is chartered to the Snohvit Sellers
for a period of 20 years.
The LNG is carried at a temperature of minus 163 degrees centigrade in
four Moss containment system spherical tanks, each
with a diameter of 42 meters. A full cargo load of
LNG is sufficient to cover the yearly energy
consumption of all households in a city with a
population of 45,000 people.
The Arctic Princess was
built by Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI) in Japan. delivery
was on schedule in 2006. She
is Moss type (the
tanks are spherical in shape.)
The Norwegian company Moss Maritime designed the
Moss type.

Because you want the best LNG ship model possible, be
sure to choose a builder wisely. When you see a model
whose low price is so tempting, question its
accuracy and craftsmanship. Easiest to spot is the
spheres size which is way too small. Such an important
feature and they missed. These models can be seen by
Googling "LNG model ship." One retailer imported
hundreds of that model and doesn't show the Arctic
Princess name. These models usually have extremely shiny
paint, oversized/simplified parts, and ridiculous
railings.
