Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a historical summary of liquefied natural gas carrier vessels, providing key industry data from the early sixties to the late seventies. The author examines the growth, cost functions, design technologies, and operational expenses of these specialized tankers. The author asserts that these specially designed ships, capable of transporting liquefied natural gas, were developed in the 1960s due to natural gas shortages in the United States and Western Europe. Given the innovative technology and capital intensiveness involved, the author argues that the growth of the LNG carrier fleet in the 1970s was cyclical and driven by expectations. The book also discusses the major design characteristics of LNG carriers, including hull design, tank design technology, and power plants. The book concludes by deriving a long-run supply curve for the LNG carrier industry based on a theoretical framework that includes industry risk and strategic considerations.
