Analysis of Transportation Costs for Small and Medium-sized LNG Carriers
With the proposal of"peak carbon dioxide emissions"and"carbon neutrality"development goals,liquefied natural gas(LNG)as a clean and low-carbon energy is gradually valued for the energy market,and the transportation industry related to LNG is also accelerating its development.LNG carrier is an internationally recognized ship with high added value and high technology content.LNG carrier is an industry with high investment cost,high transportation cost and high transportation risk.With the rise of raw material prices,fuel costs,crew costs and other factors,the cost of carrier operation has increased significantly.Starting with the constituent elements of transportation cost,using the specific data collected in the current market,this paper takes 30 000-50 000 m3 small and medium-sized LNG carriers as an example,and analyzes the transportation cost of LNG carriers in order to provide a reference for the cost forecast of LNG carrier project and the negotiation of transportation contract.
