10 LMM V I S I O N ISSUE 24 | Q1 2026 ARTICLE Liquefied Natural Gas carriers (LNG/cs) remain among the most technically advanced vessels in the maritime industry. Designed to transport LNG at cryogenic temperatures of approximately -162°C, these vessels incorporate highly specialized systems, cryogenic materials, and require dedicated operational expertise and procedures. Due to the complexity of LNG containment systems, propulsion technologies, cargo handling equipment, and firefighting and lifesaving systems, scheduled repairs and maintenance are critical to ensuring reliability, regulatory compliance, environmental protection, and operational efficiency. Delays caused by technical failures or inadequate maintenance may result in operational downtime, significant financial losses, safety incidents, and environmental risks. Scheduled LNG carrier repairs cannot be considered routine activities for either the Company or the repair Shipyards, as they require extensive planning and coordination among multiple suppliers, service engineers, and crew members with specialized technical expertise.
