We believe the tanker 'LNG Jamal' has the key to these questions. We would like to introduce the LNG Jamal which is cruising all over the world with innovative technologies on board. "LNG Jamal" equipped with 5 Moss-type spherical tanks (total capacity: abt. 135,000m3) is a purpose built vessel for the Oman LNG project. She transports abt. 660,000 tons of LNG annually from Oman to Japan. She was delivered in October 2000 and has maintained excellent conditions. Changes in design of LNG vessels do not generally come easily, but the Jamal is a product of innovative new technologies brought in by every party, the ship owners, buyer, transporter and shipbuilder. The following design concepts were applied in the design of the LNG Jamal. 1) A vessel to achieve economical and flexible transportation around the world 2) An advanced vessel adopting newest technologies All of the principal performance including newest technologies of this vessel has been checked and we have confirmed that the vessel achieves higher than the design capacity/performance.
