A liquefied natural gas carrier is a specialized vessel designed for transporting natural gas that has been cooled to approximately -162 degrees Celsius (-260 degrees Fahrenheit), converting it into a liquid state. This liquefaction significantly reduces the gas's volume, making it economical to ship large quantities across oceans. These ships feature insulated tanks to maintain the low temperature and typically use boil-off gas as fuel for propulsion.
