CNG carrier

<p>Compressed natural gas (CNG) carrier ships are those designed for transportation of <a href="/facts/Natural_gas/9MYQ7NAP">natural gas</a> under high <a href="/facts/Pressure/eyc37GRG">pressure</a>. <a href="/facts/Compressed_natural_gas/tMsYjxMK">CNG</a> carrier technology relies on high pressure, typically over 250 <a href="/facts/Bar_(unit)/wwFWTTkT">bar</a> (2900 <a href="/facts/Pounds_per_square_inch/RMdeTlB0">psi</a>), to increase the <a href="/facts/Density/92p6hh9I">density</a> of the gas, but it is still 2.4 times less than that of <a href="/facts/Liquefied_natural_gas/HIm7BbAl">LNG</a> (426 kg/m3). CNG carriers may find their place abreast with the well established technology of <a href="/facts/Liquefied_natural_gas/HIm7BbAl">liquefied natural gas</a> by <a href="/facts/LNG_carrier/MwSdULC1">LNG carriers</a> as it is economical for medium distance marine transport. Most of the energy consumed for the gas pressurisation can be recovered as electricity using <a href="/facts/Turboexpander/QqUeVKQu">turboexpander</a> while delivering CNG to the inland piping network at unloading <a href="/facts/Jetty/a5aGm28o">jetty</a>/harbour. CNG carriers are also alternate solutions to the undersea pipelines as they have less complicated fast loading and unloading features.
