In 2023, shipbuilding companies in Japan completed one liquefied natural gas carrier (LNG carrier). As suggested by the term itself, LNG carriers are designed to carry liquified natural gas. They need a cryogenic tank to do so, so that the natural gas stays at extremely low temperatures to preserve its liquified state.
