长江中上游航道LNG运输船船型初探

Ships for LNG Transportation in the Mid-upper Stream of Yangtze River

介绍了液化天然气作为清洁能源的优势和内河LNG船广阔的发展前景,结合武汉上游长江航道的通航条件,从航道水深、过弯半径、桥梁通航能力和船闸限制等方面,分析了不同航道对船型尺度的影响。推荐了武汉上游航道LNG运输船各航段适宜的船型尺度,提出了船型结构、船体线型、货舱型式、推进方式等船型特点的建议。

The background of the LNG transportation in inland-water was introduced in the article. A prediction for the new LNG chain was also described. Taking the influence of water depth and curve of channel,navigation limitation due to the bridge and the lock, etc. into account, main scantling of the LNG carrier that is suitable for sailing in the up and middle reaches of Yangtze River is recommended. Hull structure, ship shape, cargo type, way of propelling were also proposed.
