” BW LNG expects the larger cargo capacity and lower energy requirements to reduce emissions intensity per unit of LNG delivered

Home Fossil Energy BW LNG builds on 174k LNG carrier workhorse with 177k cbm three-tank design August 25, 2026, by BW LNG, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping company that is part of Singapore-based BW Group, has shed more light on its move that pushes LNG carrier capacity beyond the conventional 174,000-cubic-meter (cbm) design with a new 177,000-cbm, three-tank configuration, described as being able to carry more cargo while retaining the flexibility and terminal compatibility of the established vessel clas

The LNG shipping player said: “The 174k cbm LNG carrier has become a preferred size in today’s LNG shipping market, offering the compatibility and operational flexibility needed to serve a wide range of terminals and trading routes. “With our new 177k cbm three-tank design, BW LNG is building on these strengths by increasing cargo capacity by 3,000 cbm – while retaining the same vessel dimensions and compatibility
