Technological caracteristics of LNG ships through history

Početkom korištenja prirodnog plina kao goriva dolazi do potrebe za LNG brodovima, koji pružaju najefikasniji prijevoz od mjesta nalazišta do potrošača. U ovom završnom radu obrađivat će se povijesni razvoj takvih brodova te kako oni izgledaju danas. U početku su to bili prenamijenjeni brodovi za prijevoz rasutog tereta, danas su to vrlo moderni brodovi građeni prema SOLAS konvenciji (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea – SOLAS) sa sigurnosnim sustavima kao što je ESD (Emergency shutdown) kako bi imali maksimalnu sigurnost sa stajališta posade i okoliša. Posada je posebno uvježbana prema STCW konvenciji (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers - STCW).With the start of the use of natural gas as fuel, there is a need for LNG ships, which provide the most efficient transport form site to the consumer. This project will deal with the historical development of such ships and how they look today. Initially these were converted bulk carriers, today they are very modern ships built according to SOLAS convention with safety systems such as ESD to have maximum safety from point of view pf the crew and the environment. The crew is specially trained according to STCW convention
