SHIP STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF LARGE LNG CARRIERS (LNGCS) AT SAMSUNG HEAVY INDUSTRIES - MISC BERHAD REPRESENTATIVE PERSPECTIVES

摘要

The paper would like to present MISC perspectives for the structural and construction of Large LNG Carriers at Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) due to the heavy interest in LNG Carriers in the new-building market. Currently, MISC as the front-runner of LNG Carriers Ship Owner/Operator in the world and combined experience more than 20 years would share the experience in design review, quality management and project management in order to promote high quality of standards in terms of safety and reliability with other Ship Owners. The paper would like to share the lessons learned from designing until building stages with other prospective Owners of the Large LNGC at SHI. This effort will hope to alleviate and maintain the current safety records of LNGC operations around the world. The current rush of large LNGC new-building should be encouraged and promoted by the LNG industry. However, the rush should be cautioned with promotions of discussions between new and experience Owners through various organizations like SIGGTO in terms design and production of the Large LNGC.
