UPDATE: DOMESTIC LNG VESSEL CONSTRUCTION

The paper gives a picture of the present domestic LNG vessel construction program over the past four years, dealing exclusively with three U.S. shipyards constructing LNG vessels under the Construction Differential Subsidy (CDS) program. The paper dwells largely on the specialized facilities, equipment and techniques required and the problems encountered in the construction of LNG cargo containment systems for three designs and shows the successful solutions to those problems.
