Recently, the energy which demand expanded most is LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). The transport vessel carrying the LNG has many kinds. As for the LNG carriers, economy, versatility, environmentally friendly are required. In addition, it is required to consider sloshing peculiar to marine transportation. Therefore, many makers constructed a variety of LNG carriers such as MOSS, Membrane and SPB. These tanks of the vessel are made according to the IGC code (International code for the Construction and Equipment of Ship Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk) which IMO (International Marine Organization) established, but there is big characteristic in each.
