Description

本発明は液化ガス運搬船に関する。 The present invention relates to a liquefied gas carrier.

ＬＮＧ（液化天然ガス）やＬＰＧ（液化石油ガス）のような液化ガスを貨物として運搬する液化ガス運搬船は、液化ガスを貯蔵する液化ガスタンクを貨物区画に備える。
小型船用の液化ガスタンクは円筒状タンク（シリンダータンク）が一般的である（特許文献１）。一方で円筒状タンクは長手方向を船長方向に向けて配置するとタンクの上下端と船側との間に隙間が生じるため、容積効率を向上させ難い。そのため、一定以上の貨物容積で、船長、型幅、吃水に制約がない場合は、容積効率を向上させるために、円筒を並列に結合したバイローブタンク又はマルチローブタンクが用いられる（特許文献２）。バイローブタンクは円筒状タンクよりも小さい直径で同じ容積にできるため容積効率に優れ、タンク長さに対して幅広のタンクにできる。 A liquefied gas carrier that carries liquefied gas as cargo, such as LNG (liquefied natural gas) and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), is equipped with a liquefied gas tank for storing liquefied gas in the cargo compartment.
A cylindrical tank (cylinder tank) is generally used as a liquefied gas tank for a small boat (Patent Document 1). On the other hand, if the cylindrical tank is arranged with the longitudinal direction facing the captain's direction, a gap is created between the upper and lower ends of the tank and the ship side, so it is difficult to improve volumetric efficiency. Therefore, when the cargo volume is above a certain level and there are no restrictions on the captain, mold width, and draft, a bilobe tank or multi-lobe tank in which cylinders are connected in parallel is used in order to improve volumetric efficiency (Patent Document 2). ). Since the bilobe tank can have the same volume with a smaller diameter than the cylindrical tank, it has excellent volumetric efficiency and can be a wide tank with respect to the tank length.

しかしながらバイローブタンクは円筒を並列に接合した構造であるため、円筒状タンクより構造が複雑で重くなる。またバイローブタンクの容積効率を向上させるために幅を広くすると船側とタンクの距離が近くなり、船側が損傷して貨物区画に浸水した際にタンクが損傷し易くなる。そのため復原性を維持するため貨物区画を複数の水密区画に分割して、区画ごとにタンクを設置する必要があり、タンク数が増えて重くなる。よって、河川用船舶のような浅吃水船は、タンク重量を支える排水量を確保するために、船幅をタンクの寸法に対して外航船以上に大きくする必要があり、バイローブタンクを用いても容積効率が向上し難い問題があった。船幅を大きくすると推進抵抗が悪化する問題や、狭水路で他船との衝突を回避し難くなる問題もあった。
本発明は上記課題に鑑みてなされたもので、貨物容積を小さくせずにタンク重量を軽くでき、船幅が広くなるのも抑制できる液化ガス運搬船の提供を目的とする。 However, since the bilobe tank has a structure in which cylinders are joined in parallel, the structure is more complicated and heavier than the cylindrical tank. Further, if the width is widened to improve the volumetric efficiency of the bilobe tank, the distance between the ship side and the tank becomes short, and the tank is easily damaged when the ship side is damaged and the cargo compartment is flooded. Therefore, in order to maintain stability, it is necessary to divide the cargo compartment into multiple watertight compartments and install tanks in each compartment, which increases the number of tanks and makes them heavier. Therefore, for shallow draft vessels such as river vessels, it is necessary to make the width of the vessel larger than that of ocean-going vessels in order to secure the displacement that supports the tank weight. There was a problem that it was difficult to improve the volumetric efficiency. There was also a problem that the propulsion resistance deteriorated when the width of the ship was increased, and it became difficult to avoid a collision with another ship in a narrow waterway.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a liquefied gas carrier capable of reducing the weight of a tank without reducing the cargo volume and suppressing a widening of the ship width.

本発明の貨物船は、貨物である液化ガスの積載可能容積が５００００ｍ3以下の液化ガス運搬船であって、前記液化ガスが積載される区画である貨物区画を備える船体と、円筒状の独立タンクで長手方向が船長方向を向くように前記貨物区画に１つ配置されるか、又は複数が直列配置されて前記液化ガスを貯蔵する液化ガスタンクと、を備え、型幅をＢ、前記液化ガスタンクの円筒の直径をＤとした場合に、以下の式（１）で示す関係を満たすことを特徴とする。
（５／３）＜（Ｂ／Ｄ）＜２ …式（１） The cargo ship of the present invention is a liquefied gas carrier having a loadable capacity of 50,000 m 3 or less of liquefied gas as cargo, and has a hull having a cargo compartment in which the liquefied gas is loaded and a cylindrical independent tank. A liquefied gas tank is provided in which one is arranged in the cargo compartment so that the longitudinal direction faces the captain's direction, or a plurality of them are arranged in series to store the liquefied gas. When the diameter of the cylinder is D, the relationship represented by the following equation (1) is satisfied.
(5/3) <(B / D) <2 ... Equation (1)

この構成では、バイローブタンクより軽い円筒状タンクを直列配置して船側とタンクの距離を長くして浸水時のタンク損傷を抑制することで貨物区画の横隔壁数を減らす。横隔壁数が減ると貨物区画内の水密区画が船長方向に長くなるため、タンク長を長くすることで容積を減らさずにタンク数を減らし、タンク重量を抑制する。
そのため、貨物容積を小さくせずにタンク重量を軽くでき、船幅が広くなるのも抑制できる。 In this configuration, cylindrical tanks, which are lighter than the bilobe tank, are arranged in series to increase the distance between the ship side and the tank to prevent tank damage during flooding, thereby reducing the number of lateral bulkheads in the cargo compartment. When the number of horizontal bulkheads is reduced, the watertight compartment in the cargo compartment becomes longer in the direction of the captain. Therefore, by lengthening the tank length, the number of tanks is reduced without reducing the volume, and the tank weight is suppressed.
Therefore, the weight of the tank can be reduced without reducing the cargo volume, and the width of the ship can be suppressed from becoming wide.

本発明によれば、貨物容積を小さくせずにタンク重量を軽くでき、船幅が広くなるのも抑制できる液化ガス運搬船を提供できる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a liquefied gas carrier capable of reducing the weight of a tank without reducing the cargo volume and suppressing a widening of the ship width.

本実施形態に係る液化ガス運搬船の概要を示す側面図である。It is a side view which shows the outline of the liquefied gas carrier which concerns on this embodiment. 図１の正面図であるIt is a front view of FIG. 図１の平面図である。It is a plan view of FIG. 図１の貨物区画上方の暴露甲板、上部構造物、貨物機器室及びマニフォールドの記載を省略した平面図である。It is a top view which omitted the description of the exposed deck, the superstructure, the cargo equipment room and the manifold above the cargo compartment of FIG. 1. 図１の変形例であって、液化ガスタンクを３つ直列配置した液化ガス運搬船を示す。It is a modification of FIG. 1 and shows a liquefied gas carrier in which three liquefied gas tanks are arranged in series. 図１の変形例であって、貨物機器室を機関区画の上方に設けた液化ガス運搬船を示す。It is a modification of FIG. 1 and shows a liquefied gas carrier having a cargo equipment room above the engine compartment.

以下、図１〜図６を参照して本実施形態に係る液化ガス運搬船１の構成を説明する。
図１及び図２に示すように液化ガス運搬船１は、船体３、貨物区画７、液化ガスタンク１７、及び貨物機器室３３を備える。 Hereinafter, the configuration of the liquefied gas carrier 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the liquefied gas carrier 1 includes a hull 3, a cargo compartment 7, a liquefied gas tank 17, and a cargo equipment room 33.

船体３は液化ガス運搬船１の船殻となる構造体であり、船底７１、船側７３、及び暴露甲板６１で船内を囲むように構成される。具体的な船型や船殻構造、あるいは水密隔壁の配置等は液化ガス運搬船１の用途に応じて適宜設計される。 The hull 3 is a structure that becomes the hull of the liquefied gas carrier 1, and is configured to surround the inside of the ship with a ship bottom 71, a ship side 73, and an exposed deck 61. The specific hull shape, hull structure, arrangement of watertight bulkheads, etc. are appropriately designed according to the application of the liquefied gas carrier 1.

液化ガス運搬船１は貨物である液化ガスの積載可能容積が５００００ｍ3以下である。積載可能容積が５００００ｍ3超の液化ガス運搬船１は、積載可能容積に余裕があるため、本実施形態の液化ガス運搬船１でなくても貨物容積を小さくせずに船幅が広くなるのも抑制できるためである。
液化ガスの積載可能容積の下限は液化ガス運搬船１に求められる輸送能力と輸送コストの兼ね合いで設定するが、例えば１００００ｍ3以上である。液化ガスの積載可能容積が１００００ｍ3未満の小型船は元々タンクが小さくタンク重量が軽いため、積載可能容積が１００００ｍ3以上の船舶と比べてタンク重量を軽くする必要性が低いためである。 The liquefied gas carrier 1 has a loadable volume of liquefied gas, which is cargo, of 50,000 m 3 or less. Since the liquefied gas carrier 1 having a loadable volume of more than 50,000 m 3 has a margin in the loadable volume, it is possible to suppress the increase in the width of the liquefied gas carrier 1 without reducing the cargo volume even if it is not the liquefied gas carrier 1 of the present embodiment. Because it can be done.
The lower limit of the loadable volume of the liquefied gas is set in consideration of the transport capacity and the transport cost required for the liquefied gas carrier 1, and is set to, for example, 10,000 m 3 or more. This is because a small ship with a loadable volume of less than 10,000 m 3 originally has a small tank and a light tank weight, so it is less necessary to reduce the tank weight than a ship with a loadable volume of 10,000 m 3 or more.

液化ガス運搬船１の吃水は航行する水路の水深によるが、液化ガス運搬船１が河川用船舶である場合、図２に示す計画吃水ＦＤが６ｍ未満であるのが好ましい。
計画吃水ＦＤが６ｍ未満であれば、液化ガス運搬船１が長江のような大陸の河川を少なくとも中流域まで航行できる。 The draft of the liquefied gas carrier 1 depends on the water depth of the navigating waterway, but when the liquefied gas carrier 1 is a river vessel, the draft draft FD shown in FIG. 2 is preferably less than 6 m.
If the planned draft FD is less than 6 m, the liquefied gas carrier 1 can navigate a continental river such as the Yangtze River to at least the middle reaches.

図１に示すように船体３は液化ガスが積載される貨物区画７を備える。より具体的には、船体３は船内区画として船尾から船首に向けて順に設けられた機関区画５、貨物区画７、及び船首区画９を備える。 As shown in FIG. 1, the hull 3 includes a cargo compartment 7 on which liquefied gas is loaded. More specifically, the hull 3 includes an engine section 5, a cargo section 7, and a bow section 9 which are sequentially provided from the stern to the bow as an inboard section.

機関区画５は主機等の液化ガス運搬船１の推進機構の動力源が配置される区画であり、船長方向において船体３の最も船尾側の区画である。
機関区画５の船首方向最先端には水密構造の横隔壁である機関隔壁１５が設けられ、機関区画５と貨物区画７は機関隔壁１５で船長方向に分離される。
機関区画５の上方の暴露甲板６１上には主機の燃焼で生じた排ガスを排気する排気管が配置される化粧煙突１３や、排ガス処理設備等が収納されたエンジンケーシング１１が必要に応じて設けられる。 The engine section 5 is a section in which the power source of the propulsion mechanism of the liquefied gas carrier 1 such as the main engine is arranged, and is the section on the most stern side of the hull 3 in the captain direction.
An engine partition wall 15 which is a horizontal partition wall having a watertight structure is provided at the tip of the engine section 5 in the bow direction, and the engine section 5 and the cargo section 7 are separated by the engine partition wall 15 in the captain direction.
On the exposed deck 61 above the engine compartment 5, a decorative chimney 13 in which an exhaust pipe for exhausting exhaust gas generated by combustion of the main engine is arranged, and an engine casing 11 in which exhaust gas treatment equipment and the like are housed are provided as necessary. Will be.

液化ガス運搬船１は、船体３を船長方向に推進するための推進機構を備える。図３では推進機構としてプロペラ６を例示している。
プロペラ６の数は１基でもよいが、液化ガス運搬船１が河川用船舶の場合、図３に示すように複数のプロペラ６を船幅方向に対して並列配置するのが好ましい。ここでいう並列配置とは船幅方向に複数のプロペラ６を配置することを意味する。図３では２基のプロペラ６を例示しているが、３基以上でもよい。
このように液化ガス運搬船１が複数のプロペラ６を並列配置した多軸船とすることで、河川のような水深が浅い水路での座礁を防ぐためにプロペラ６の直径を大きくできない浅吃水船でも、必要な推進力を一軸船よりも得やすい。 The liquefied gas carrier 1 includes a propulsion mechanism for propelling the hull 3 toward the captain. FIG. 3 illustrates the propeller 6 as a propulsion mechanism.
The number of propellers 6 may be one, but when the liquefied gas carrier 1 is a river vessel, it is preferable to arrange a plurality of propellers 6 in parallel in the width direction as shown in FIG. The parallel arrangement here means that a plurality of propellers 6 are arranged in the width direction of the ship. Although two propellers 6 are illustrated in FIG. 3, three or more propellers may be used.
By making the liquefied gas carrier 1 a multi-axis vessel in which a plurality of propellers 6 are arranged in parallel in this way, even a shallow draft vessel whose diameter of the propeller 6 cannot be increased in order to prevent grounding in a shallow waterway such as a river can be used. It is easier to obtain the required propulsion force than a single-axle ship.

貨物区画７は液化ガス運搬船１が輸送する貨物が配置される区画であり、図１に示すように船長方向において、機関区画５と船首区画９の間に設けられる。
機関区画５の船首方向最先端には水密構造の横隔壁である貨物隔壁２１が設けられ、船首区画９と貨物区画７は貨物隔壁２１で船長方向に分離される。 The cargo compartment 7 is a compartment in which the cargo transported by the liquefied gas carrier 1 is arranged, and is provided between the engine compartment 5 and the bow compartment 9 in the captain direction as shown in FIG.
A cargo partition 21 which is a horizontal partition wall having a watertight structure is provided at the tip of the engine section 5 in the bow direction, and the bow section 9 and the cargo section 7 are separated by the cargo partition 21 in the captain direction.

貨物区画７には液化ガスタンク１７が積載される。
液化ガスタンク１７は液化ガスを貯蔵するタンクである。液化ガスとは、常温、常圧で気体のガスを冷却や圧縮で液体にしたものであり、ＬＮＧ、ＬＰＧ、エタン、エチレン、アンモニア、水素を例示できる。 A liquefied gas tank 17 is loaded in the cargo compartment 7.
The liquefied gas tank 17 is a tank for storing liquefied gas. The liquefied gas is a gas obtained by cooling or compressing a gas at normal temperature and pressure, and examples thereof include LNG, LPG, ethane, ethylene, ammonia, and hydrogen.

図１及び図２に示すように液化ガスタンク１７は円筒状の独立タンクである。
ここでいう「円筒状」とは、軸方向に直交する断面が円環で構成され、円環の中心が１つのみの筒を意味する。よってバイローブタンクのように断面が複数の円環で構成され、複数の円環に対応した複数の中心がある形状は「円筒状」に含まない。
独立タンクとは、液密とタンク内圧をタンク自体で保持でき、船体３から独立しているタンクを意味する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the liquefied gas tank 17 is a cylindrical independent tank.
The term "cylindrical" as used herein means a cylinder having a cross section orthogonal to the axial direction formed of an annulus and having only one center of the annulus. Therefore, a shape having a plurality of rings having a cross section and having a plurality of centers corresponding to the plurality of rings, such as a bilobe tank, is not included in the "cylindrical shape".
The independent tank means a tank that can maintain the liquid tightness and the internal pressure of the tank by the tank itself and is independent of the hull 3.

ここでいう「円筒状」とは、断面の直径が異なる部分を有する構造を含む。
例えば図１で示す液化ガスタンク１７は長手方向の両端が先細りの半球状であり、端部の断面の直径が中心部の断面の直径よりも小さいカプセル形状であるが、この形状も円筒状に含む。
ただし、両端が半球状の場合、長手方向の長さが短すぎると液化ガスタンク１７の外形が球形タンクに近くなり、タンクを船体３に設置するための支持構造が複雑になる。そのため、ここでいう「円筒状」とは、図１に示すようにタンクの全長Ｌcが、直径が等しい円筒部分の直径Ｄの１．５倍以上大きいことが望ましい。 The term "cylindrical" as used herein includes a structure having portions having different cross-sectional diameters.
For example, the liquefied gas tank 17 shown in FIG. 1 has a hemispherical shape with both ends tapered in the longitudinal direction, and has a capsule shape in which the diameter of the cross section of the end portion is smaller than the diameter of the cross section of the central portion. ..
However, when both ends are hemispherical, if the length in the longitudinal direction is too short, the outer shape of the liquefied gas tank 17 becomes close to that of a spherical tank, and the support structure for installing the tank on the hull 3 becomes complicated. Therefore, the term "cylindrical" as used herein means that, as shown in FIG. 1, it is desirable that the total length L c of the tank is 1.5 times or more the diameter D of the cylindrical portions having the same diameter.

液化ガスタンク１７は長手方向が船長方向を向くように貨物区画７に１つ配置されるか、又は複数が直列配置されて液化ガスを貯蔵する。直列配置とは、船長方向に１列に配置することを意味する。これは船幅方向に２列以上に液化ガスタンク１７を配置する並列配置の場合は、バイローブタンクと同様の配置になり、バイローブタンクを用いる場合と差異がないためである。なお、長手方向とは円筒の軸方向を意味する。
図１では２つの液化ガスタンク１７が直列配置されている。２つの液化ガスタンク１７の間には水密隔壁である貨物倉横隔壁３１が配置されており、２つの液化ガスタンク１７の一方が配置された区画に浸水しても、他方が配置された区画への浸水は貨物倉横隔壁３１に阻止される。 One liquefied gas tank 17 is arranged in the cargo compartment 7 so that the longitudinal direction faces the captain's direction, or a plurality of liquefied gas tanks 17 are arranged in series to store the liquefied gas. The series arrangement means that they are arranged in a row in the direction of the captain. This is because, in the case of the parallel arrangement in which the liquefied gas tanks 17 are arranged in two or more rows in the width direction of the ship, the arrangement is the same as that of the bilobe tank, and there is no difference from the case of using the bilobe tank. The longitudinal direction means the axial direction of the cylinder.
In FIG. 1, two liquefied gas tanks 17 are arranged in series. A cargo hold horizontal bulkhead 31 which is a watertight bulkhead is arranged between the two liquefied gas tanks 17, and even if one of the two liquefied gas tanks 17 is flooded into the compartment where the other is arranged, the compartment where the other is arranged is located. Inundation is blocked by the cargo hold horizontal bulkhead 31.

液化ガス運搬船１は、型幅をＢ、液化ガスタンク１７の円筒の直径をＤとした場合に、以下の式（１）で示す関係を満たす。
（５／３）＜（Ｂ／Ｄ）＜２ …式（１）
なお、ここでいう直径Ｄとは直径が等しい円筒部分の外径である。
式（１）の右側の不等号は液化ガスタンク１７の円筒の直径Ｄが貨物区画７の船幅（型幅Ｂ）の半分より大きいことを意味する。式（１）の左側の不等号は、液化ガスタンク１７を貨物区画７の船側７３に近接させずに距離を離して設置することを意味する。一般に液化ガスタンク１７は容積効率を向上させた上で積載可能容積を維持するため、船幅方向の長さを貨物区画７の船幅（型幅Ｂ）に近づけるが、本実施形態では逆に、船幅方向の長さである直径Ｄを小さくして船側７３との距離を離す。また、一般に液化ガスタンク１７は容積効率を向上させた上で積載可能容積を維持するために、バイローブタンクのように円筒を並列配置したタンクを用いるが、本実施形態では逆に円筒状のタンクを直列配置する。理由は積載可能容積を維持しつつ重量を削減するためである。 The liquefied gas carrier 1 satisfies the relationship represented by the following formula (1) when the mold width is B and the diameter of the cylinder of the liquefied gas tank 17 is D.
(5/3) <(B / D) <2 ... Equation (1)
The diameter D here is the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion having the same diameter.
The inequality sign on the right side of the formula (1) means that the diameter D of the cylinder of the liquefied gas tank 17 is larger than half of the ship width (mold width B) of the cargo compartment 7. The inequality sign on the left side of the formula (1) means that the liquefied gas tank 17 is installed at a distance without being close to the ship side 73 of the cargo compartment 7. Generally, in order to maintain the loadable capacity of the liquefied gas tank 17 while improving the volume efficiency, the length in the ship width direction is made closer to the ship width (mold width B) of the cargo compartment 7, but in the present embodiment, on the contrary, The diameter D, which is the length in the width direction of the ship, is reduced to increase the distance from the ship side 73. Further, in general, the liquefied gas tank 17 uses a tank in which cylinders are arranged in parallel like a bilobe tank in order to maintain the loadable volume while improving the volumetric efficiency, but in the present embodiment, the cylindrical tank is conversely used. Are arranged in series. The reason is to reduce the weight while maintaining the loadable volume.

具体的には、まず円筒状タンクはバイローブタンクよりも構造が単純であり、同じ容積ではバイローブタンクより軽量なので重量を削減できる。次に、円筒状タンクを直列配置して直径Ｄを小さくすると、型幅Ｂを広くせずに船側７３とタンクの船幅方向の距離を長くできる。そのため、船側７３に他船や洋上構造物が衝突してもタンクが損傷し難くなるので、バイローブタンクのように船側７３とタンクを近接配置する場合よりも貨物区画７内の水密区画の数を減らしても損傷時の復原性を維持できる。特に貨物倉横隔壁３１の数を減らせるので、貨物区画７内の区画を船長方向に長くできる。区画が船長方向に長くなると、タンク長を長くできるので、同じ貨物容積でもタンク数を減らせる。タンク数が減ると同じ容積でもタンクの外壁面積が小さくなり、タンク内の艤装の物量も減るので、さらに重量を削減できる。 Specifically, first of all, the cylindrical tank has a simpler structure than the bilobe tank, and is lighter than the bilobe tank at the same volume, so that the weight can be reduced. Next, if the cylindrical tanks are arranged in series to reduce the diameter D, the distance between the ship side 73 and the tank in the ship width direction can be increased without widening the mold width B. Therefore, even if another ship or an offshore structure collides with the ship side 73, the tank is less likely to be damaged. The stability at the time of damage can be maintained even if the amount is reduced. In particular, since the number of cargo hold lateral bulkheads 31 can be reduced, the compartment in the cargo compartment 7 can be lengthened in the direction of the captain. If the compartment becomes longer in the direction of the captain, the tank length can be lengthened, so the number of tanks can be reduced even with the same cargo volume. As the number of tanks decreases, the area of the outer wall of the tank becomes smaller even with the same volume, and the amount of equipment in the tank also decreases, so the weight can be further reduced.

このように、バイローブタンクよりも容積効率の悪い円筒状タンクを敢えて直径を小さくして直列配置すると、タンク長を長くできバイローブタンクを用いた場合と比べて積載可能容積を維持しつつ重量を削減でき、船幅が広くなるのも抑制できる。 In this way, if cylindrical tanks, which are less volumetric than the bilobe tank, are intentionally made smaller in diameter and arranged in series, the tank length can be increased and the weight can be maintained while maintaining the loadable capacity compared to the case where the bilobe tank is used. Can be reduced and the width of the ship can be suppressed.

Ｂ／Ｄは大きい方が船側７３と液化ガスタンク１７の距離が長くなり、船側７３が損傷した場合に液化ガスタンク１７が損傷し難くなる。さらに液化ガスタンク１７の半径が小さくなり船体３の重心が低くなるため、損傷時の復原性の点では有利である。ただしＢ／Ｄが２以上になると、液化ガスタンク１７の直径Ｄが小さくなりすぎ、液化ガス運搬船１に要求される液化ガスの積載可能容積を満たせない可能性があるため、Ｂ／Ｄは２未満である。 The larger the B / D, the longer the distance between the ship side 73 and the liquefied gas tank 17, and if the ship side 73 is damaged, the liquefied gas tank 17 is less likely to be damaged. Further, the radius of the liquefied gas tank 17 becomes smaller and the center of gravity of the hull 3 becomes lower, which is advantageous in terms of stability at the time of damage. However, if the B / D is 2 or more, the diameter D of the liquefied gas tank 17 becomes too small, and the loadable capacity of the liquefied gas required for the liquefied gas carrier 1 may not be satisfied. Therefore, the B / D is less than 2. Is.

Ｂ／Ｄは小さい方が液化ガスタンク１７の直径Ｄを大きくできるため、積載可能容積を大きくできる点では有利である。ただしＢ／Ｄが５／３以下になると船側７３と液化ガスタンク１７の距離が近くなりすぎ、IGC code（ガスキャリアコード）で定める損傷時の復原性を維持するために貨物区画７内の水密区画の数を減らせなくなり、タンク長を伸ばせなくなる。そのためＢ／Ｄは５／３超である。IGC codeとはInternational Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulkの略称であり、国際海事機関（IMO）が規定する液化ガス運搬船の国際規則である。 The smaller the B / D, the larger the diameter D of the liquefied gas tank 17, which is advantageous in that the loadable volume can be increased. However, if the B / D is 5/3 or less, the distance between the ship side 73 and the liquefied gas tank 17 becomes too close, and the watertight compartment in the cargo compartment 7 is to maintain the stability at the time of damage specified by the IGC code (gas carrier code). The number of tanks cannot be reduced and the tank length cannot be extended. Therefore, B / D is more than 5/3. The IGC code is an abbreviation for International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk, which is an international rule for liquefied gas carriers established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

液化ガス運搬船１はＢ／Ｄが以下の式（２）で示す関係を満たすことが好ましい。
（５／３）＜（Ｂ／Ｄ）＜（１７／１０） …式（２）
式（２）は式（１）において上限をより小さな１７／１０にしたものである。式（２）の上限を満たすことで、式（１）よりも液化ガスタンク１７の直径Ｄをさらに大きくできるため、積載可能容積を大きくできる点で益々有利である。 It is preferable that the B / D of the liquefied gas carrier 1 satisfies the relationship represented by the following formula (2).
(5/3) <(B / D) <(17/10) ... Equation (2)
Equation (2) is the one in which the upper limit is set to 17/10, which is smaller in equation (1). By satisfying the upper limit of the formula (2), the diameter D of the liquefied gas tank 17 can be further increased as compared with the formula (1), which is more advantageous in that the loadable volume can be increased.

なお、積載可能容積を大きくする手段としては図１に示す船体３の全長ＬOAを長くして貨物区画７を船長方向に長くすることでタンク長を長くする手段もあるが、全長ＬOAが長過ぎると旋回性能等の運動性能が悪くなる。そのため、全長ＬOAは積載可能容積と運動性能の兼ね合いで適宜設定する。具体的には型幅Ｂと全長ＬOAの関係が以下の式（３）を満たせば、積載可能容積と運動性能を両立できる。
４．５≦（ＬOA／Ｂ）≦６ …式（３） Although as a means for increasing the stackable volume also means to increase the tank length by lengthening the cargo compartment 7 Longitudinal by increasing the total length L OA of the hull 3 shown in FIG. 1, the total length L OA If it is too long, the kinetic performance such as turning performance will deteriorate. Therefore, the total length LOA is set appropriately in consideration of the loadable capacity and the exercise performance. Satisfies specific -type width B and the total length L OA relationship following Equation (3) can be both stackable volume and exercise performance.
4.5 ≤ (L OA / B) ≤ 6 ... Equation (3)

貨物区画７は左右の船側７３が二重船側構造を備えるのが好ましい。例えば図４では左右の船側７３の全体が、船外に露出する外側船側７３ａと、外側船側７３ａよりも船内側に配置された内側船側７３ｂを備えた二重船側構造である。
外側船側７３ａと内側船側７３ｂは横隔壁である複数の二重船側隔壁７７で連結され、外側船側７３ａ、内側船側７３ｂ、二重船側隔壁７７、船底７１、及び暴露甲板６１で囲まれた複数の区画が二重船側区画７９を構成する。二重船側区画７９は水密区画であり、例えばバラストタンクである。 It is preferable that the cargo compartment 7 has a double ship side structure on the left and right ship sides 73. For example, in FIG. 4, the entire left and right ship sides 73 have a double ship side structure including an outer ship side 73a exposed to the outside and an inner ship side 73b arranged inside the ship rather than the outer ship side 73a.
The outer ship side 73a and the inner ship side 73b are connected by a plurality of double ship side partition walls 77 which are horizontal bulkheads, and are surrounded by the outer ship side 73a, the inner ship side 73b, the double ship side partition wall 77, the ship bottom 71, and the exposed deck 61. The compartment constitutes the double ship side compartment 79. The double ship side section 79 is a watertight section, for example, a ballast tank.

貨物区画７の左右の船側７３が二重船側構造を備えることで、外側船側７３ａが損傷して浸水した場合でも内側船側７３ｂ及び二重船側隔壁７７で浸水が阻止され、浸水は損傷個所に接する１つの二重船側区画７９に限られる。
そのため、浸水時に液化ガスタンク１７が損傷する可能性がさらに低下するので、貨物区画７の貨物倉横隔壁３１の数をさらに削減できる。 Since the left and right ship sides 73 of the cargo compartment 7 have a double ship side structure, even if the outer ship side 73a is damaged and inundated, the inner ship side 73b and the double ship side partition wall 77 prevent the inundation, and the inundation comes into contact with the damaged part. Limited to one double shipside compartment 79.
Therefore, since the possibility that the liquefied gas tank 17 is damaged during flooding is further reduced, the number of cargo hold lateral partition walls 31 in the cargo compartment 7 can be further reduced.

液化ガスタンク１７を軽量化する観点からは液化ガスタンク１７の数は少ない方が好ましく、１つであるのが最も好ましい。ただし液化ガスタンク１７の数が減るほど貨物区画７内の水密区画の数が減って浸水時の復原性が悪化する。また液化ガスタンク１７は製造工場の設備の大きさで製造できるタンクサイズが制約される。そのため液化ガスタンク１７の数は、浸水時の復原性の観点で決定される貨物倉横隔壁３１の数と船長方向の設置間隔、及び液化ガスタンク１７を製造する工場が製造可能な液化ガスタンク１７のタンクサイズで決まる。これらの条件次第ではタンク数が１つでもよいし、図５に示すように３つでもよい。あるいは４つ以上でもよい。 From the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the liquefied gas tank 17, the number of liquefied gas tanks 17 is preferably small, and most preferably one. However, as the number of liquefied gas tanks 17 decreases, the number of watertight compartments in the cargo compartment 7 decreases, and the stability at the time of flooding deteriorates. Further, the size of the liquefied gas tank 17 that can be manufactured is restricted by the size of the equipment of the manufacturing factory. Therefore, the number of liquefied gas tanks 17 is determined by the number of cargo hold horizontal bulkheads 31 determined from the viewpoint of recoverability at the time of flooding, the installation interval in the captain direction, and the tanks of the liquefied gas tanks 17 that can be manufactured by the factory that manufactures the liquefied gas tanks 17. Determined by size. Depending on these conditions, the number of tanks may be one or three as shown in FIG. Alternatively, it may be four or more.

ただし貨物積載可能容積が１００００ｍ3以上の液化ガス運搬船１は液化ガスタンク１７の数が３つ以下であるのが好ましい。貨物積載可能容積が１００００ｍ3以上の液化ガス運搬船１は河川用船舶としてはタンク重量が大きくなりやすく、容積効率も向上させ難いため、液化ガスタンク１７の数を極力減らしてタンク重量を削減する要求が強いためである。 However, it is preferable that the number of liquefied gas tanks 17 in the liquefied gas carrier 1 having a cargo loading capacity of 10000 m 3 or more is 3 or less. Since the liquefied gas carrier 1 having a cargo loading capacity of 10,000 m 3 or more tends to have a large tank weight as a river vessel and it is difficult to improve the volumetric efficiency, it is required to reduce the number of liquefied gas tanks 17 as much as possible to reduce the tank weight. Because it is strong.

液化ガスタンク１７の具体的な構造は貯蔵する液化ガスの種類や貯蔵時の温度や圧力に応じて適宜設定する。液化ガスタンク１７を船体３に固定する構造も、液化ガスを貯蔵した液化ガスタンク１７を支持できる構造であれば、公知のスカート構造等を用いればよい。
特に液化ガスタンク１７は、液化ガスを−８０度以下で貯蔵可能な材料で構成されるのが好ましい。メタンやエタンのように―８０℃以下で液化するガスを貯蔵できるためである。なお液化ガスを−８０度以下で貯蔵する液化ガスタンク１７は材料が高価であるため、材料の使用量を減らしてコストを削減するためにタンク重量を削減する要求が強い。そのため、タンク重量を削減できる本実施形態の構造は、液化ガスを−８０度以下で貯蔵する場合に好適である。 The specific structure of the liquefied gas tank 17 is appropriately set according to the type of the liquefied gas to be stored and the temperature and pressure at the time of storage. As for the structure for fixing the liquefied gas tank 17 to the hull 3, a known skirt structure or the like may be used as long as it can support the liquefied gas tank 17 storing the liquefied gas.
In particular, the liquefied gas tank 17 is preferably made of a material that can store the liquefied gas at −80 ° C. or lower. This is because it can store gases that liquefy at -80 ° C or lower, such as methane and ethane. Since the material of the liquefied gas tank 17 that stores the liquefied gas at -80 ° C or lower is expensive, there is a strong demand to reduce the weight of the tank in order to reduce the amount of the material used and the cost. Therefore, the structure of the present embodiment capable of reducing the weight of the tank is suitable for storing the liquefied gas at −80 ° C. or lower.

図１の液化ガスタンク１７の一部は、貨物区画７に設置した状態で機関区画５の上方の暴露甲板６１よりも上方にある。そのため液化ガスタンク１７の上方には暴露甲板６１が設けられずに、貨物タンクカバー１９が設けられる。貨物タンクカバー１９は液化ガスタンク１７の暴露甲板６１よりも上方にある部分を覆って保護するカバーであり、暴露甲板６１よりも高い位置に設けられる。ただし液化ガスタンク１７の全部が暴露甲板６１よりも低い位置にある場合、暴露甲板６１が液化ガスタンク１７の上方を覆うので、貨物タンクカバー１９は不要である。 A part of the liquefied gas tank 17 of FIG. 1 is above the exposed deck 61 above the engine compartment 5 in a state of being installed in the cargo compartment 7. Therefore, the cargo tank cover 19 is provided above the liquefied gas tank 17 without the exposure deck 61. The cargo tank cover 19 is a cover that covers and protects a portion of the liquefied gas tank 17 above the exposed deck 61, and is provided at a position higher than the exposed deck 61. However, when the entire liquefied gas tank 17 is located at a position lower than the exposed deck 61, the cargo tank cover 19 is unnecessary because the exposed deck 61 covers the upper part of the liquefied gas tank 17.

図１に示すように液化ガスタンク１７はベントマスト１０を備える。ベントマスト１０は、液化ガスタンク１７が貯蔵する液化ガスの揮発分を排出することでタンク内の圧力上昇を防ぐベント管である。図１のベントマスト１０は貨物タンクカバー１９の頂部から上方に突設されている。
図１に示すベントマスト１０の頂部と貨物タンクカバー１９の頂部の間の鉛直距離ＨBは６ｍ未満であるのが好ましい。
鉛直距離ＨBが６ｍ未満であると、ベントマスト１０を備えていてもエアドラフトを低くできるため、河川にかかる橋の下の水路のように、エアドラフト制限が厳しい水路を液化ガス運搬船１が通過できる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the liquefied gas tank 17 includes a vent mast 10. The vent mast 10 is a vent pipe that prevents the pressure inside the tank from rising by discharging the volatile content of the liquefied gas stored in the liquefied gas tank 17. The bent mast 10 of FIG. 1 is projected upward from the top of the cargo tank cover 19.
Vertical distance H B between the top of the top and the cargo tank cover 19 of the vent mast 10 as shown in FIG. 1 is preferably less than 6 m.
If the vertical distance H B is less than 6 m, the air draft can be lowered even with the bent mast 10, so the liquefied gas carrier 1 can use a waterway with strict air draft restrictions, such as a waterway under a bridge over a river. You can pass.

図１に示すように液化ガスタンク１７はタンクドーム２７を備える。タンクドーム２７は液化ガスタンク１７に液化ガスを導入する際の入口となる筒状の構造物であり、液化ガスタンク１７のタンク上端から上方に突設される。
図３に示すように液化ガスタンク１７が２つの場合、船長方向における中心位置よりも、隣接する他の液化ガスタンク１７に近い位置にタンクドーム２７が設けられるのが好ましい。
図３に示す液化ガス運搬船１は船長方向において船尾側に配置された船尾側液化ガスタンク１７ａと、船首側に配置された船首側液化ガスタンク１７ｂの２つの液化ガスタンク１７を備える。船尾側液化ガスタンク１７ａは、中心位置ＣＬaよりも船首側液化ガスタンク１７ｂに近い位置にタンクドーム２７ａが設けられる。同様に船首側液化ガスタンク１７ｂは、中心位置ＣＬbよりも船尾側液化ガスタンク１７ａに近い位置にタンクドーム２７ｂが設けられる。
この構成では２つの液化ガスタンク１７のタンクドーム２７が近接配置される。タンクドーム２７は液化ガスタンク１７に液化ガスを導入する際の入口であるため、液化ガスを導入する配管等の設備が設置される。そのため、タンクドーム２７を近接配置することで配管等の設備を短くでき、重量削減に益々有利となる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the liquefied gas tank 17 includes a tank dome 27. The tank dome 27 is a cylindrical structure that serves as an inlet for introducing the liquefied gas into the liquefied gas tank 17, and is projected upward from the upper end of the tank of the liquefied gas tank 17.
As shown in FIG. 3, when there are two liquefied gas tanks 17, it is preferable that the tank dome 27 is provided at a position closer to the other adjacent liquefied gas tanks 17 than the center position in the captain direction.
The liquefied gas carrier 1 shown in FIG. 3 includes two liquefied gas tanks 17, a stern-side liquefied gas tank 17a arranged on the stern side in the captain direction and a stern-side liquefied gas tank 17b arranged on the bow side. The stern side liquefied gas tank 17a is provided with a tank dome 27a at a position closer to the bow side liquefied gas tank 17b than the center position CL a. Similarly, the bow side liquefied gas tank 17b is provided with a tank dome 27b at a position closer to the stern side liquefied gas tank 17a than the center position CL b.
In this configuration, the tank domes 27 of the two liquefied gas tanks 17 are arranged close to each other. Since the tank dome 27 is an inlet for introducing the liquefied gas into the liquefied gas tank 17, equipment such as a pipe for introducing the liquefied gas is installed. Therefore, by arranging the tank dome 27 in close proximity, equipment such as piping can be shortened, which is more advantageous for weight reduction.

例えば図１の液化ガス運搬船１は船長方向においてタンクドーム２７間の上甲板である暴露甲板６１上側にマニフォールド２９が設けられる。マニフォールド２９は液化ガスタンク１７と、陸上の液化ガス貯蔵施設との間を連結する管であり、一端がタンクドーム２７に接続され、他端が陸上の液化ガス貯蔵施設に接続される。
このようにタンクドーム２７間の上甲板上側にマニフォールド２９を設けることで、液化ガスの搬出入に係る配管をさらに短くできる。 For example, in the liquefied gas carrier 1 of FIG. 1, a manifold 29 is provided on the upper side of the exposed deck 61, which is the upper deck between the tank dome 27 in the captain direction. The manifold 29 is a pipe connecting the liquefied gas tank 17 and the liquefied gas storage facility on land, one end of which is connected to the tank dome 27 and the other end of which is connected to the liquefied gas storage facility on land.
By providing the manifold 29 on the upper side of the upper deck between the tank dome 27 in this way, the piping related to the loading and unloading of the liquefied gas can be further shortened.

船首区画９は図示しないサイドスラスターや投錨装置が設けられる区画であり、船長方向において船体３の最も船首側の区画である。
図１に示すように船首区画９の船尾側端部は水密隔壁である貨物隔壁２１で貨物区画７と分離されている。 The bow section 9 is a section provided with a side thruster and an anchoring device (not shown), and is the section closest to the bow of the hull 3 in the captain's direction.
As shown in FIG. 1, the stern side end of the bow compartment 9 is separated from the cargo compartment 7 by the cargo bulkhead 21 which is a watertight bulkhead.

船首区画９の暴露甲板６１上には船橋２３が設けられる。
船橋２３は船員の居住区及び操船の指揮所となる多層の上部構造物であり、下層には船員の居住区が配置され、上層には指揮所が配置される。
図１に示すように船橋２３は船首区画９上の暴露甲板６１に設けられており、貨物区画７よりも船首側に設けられる。 A bridge 23 is provided on the exposed deck 61 of the bow compartment 9.
The bridge 23 is a multi-layered superstructure that serves as a seafarer's residential area and a command post for maneuvering. A seafarer's residential area is arranged in the lower layer, and a command post is arranged in the upper layer.
As shown in FIG. 1, the bridge 23 is provided on the exposed deck 61 on the bow compartment 9, and is provided on the bow side of the cargo compartment 7.

このように貨物区画７よりも船首側に船橋２３を設けることで、貨物区画７よりも船尾側の機関区画５の上方に船橋２３を設ける場合よりも機関区画５の船長方向の長さを小さくでき、貨物区画７の船長方向長さを大きくできる。そのため、液化ガスタンク１７のタンク長を長くでき、容積を小さくせずにタンク重量を軽くするのに益々有利である。 By providing the bridge 23 on the bow side of the cargo compartment 7 in this way, the length of the engine compartment 5 in the captain direction is smaller than when the bridge 23 is provided above the engine compartment 5 on the stern side of the cargo compartment 7. The length of the cargo compartment 7 in the captain direction can be increased. Therefore, the tank length of the liquefied gas tank 17 can be lengthened, which is more advantageous for reducing the weight of the tank without reducing the volume.

図１に示す船橋２３は天井から上方にレーダーマスト１２が突設されている。レーダーマスト１２は液化ガス運搬船１が安全に航海するためや、外部と通信を行うのに必要な設備が設置された帆柱であり、具体的には航海灯、レーダーアンテナ、信号灯、無線用アンテナ、海事衛星用パラボラアンテナ等が設置される。
液化ガス運搬船１は、レーダーマスト１２のような暴露甲板６１上の上部構造物のうち、図２に示す、頂部が最も高い位置にある上部構造物の頂部と計画吃水線ＬＷＬの間の鉛直方向距離ＨLが２４ｍ以下であるのが好ましい。
「頂部が最も高い位置」とは、上部構造物が起倒式のマストのように、高さを変えられる構造の場合、マストを倒した状態のように高さが最も低い状態で比較して頂部が最も高い位置を意味する。
この構造では液化ガス運搬船１がレーダーマスト１２を備えていてもエアドラフトを低くできるため、河川にかかる橋の下の水路のように、エアドラフト制限が厳しい水路を通過できる。 The bridge 23 shown in FIG. 1 has a radar mast 12 projecting above the ceiling. The radar mast 12 is a sail column on which equipment necessary for the liquefied gas carrier 1 to navigate safely and to communicate with the outside is installed, and specifically, a navigation light, a radar antenna, a signal light, a radio antenna, and the like. Parabolic antennas for maritime satellites will be installed.
The liquefied gas carrier 1 is a vertical direction between the top of the superstructure having the highest top and the planned waterline LWL shown in FIG. 2 among the superstructures on the exposed deck 61 such as the radar mast 12. The distance H L is preferably 24 m or less.
"The highest position at the top" means that if the superstructure has a structure that can be changed in height, such as a retractable mast, the height is the lowest, such as when the mast is tilted. The top means the highest position.
In this structure, even if the liquefied gas carrier 1 is equipped with the radar mast 12, the air draft can be lowered, so that it can pass through a waterway with strict air draft restrictions such as a waterway under a bridge over a river.

貨物機器室３３は液化ガスタンク１７内の液化ガスの温度や圧力を制御する機器である貨物機器が配置される部屋である。貨物機器室３３の設置位置は他の設備と干渉しない位置で、かつ液化ガスタンク１７から離れすぎない位置が好ましい。 The cargo equipment room 33 is a room in which cargo equipment, which is a device for controlling the temperature and pressure of the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas tank 17, is arranged. The installation position of the cargo equipment room 33 is preferably a position that does not interfere with other equipment and is not too far from the liquefied gas tank 17.

例えば図１に示すように複数の液化ガスタンク１７が直列配置されており、長手方向両端が半球状のようなタンクの外側に向かって凸な曲面の場合、液化ガスタンク１７の長手方向の最先端部１６より上方で、貨物区画７における液化ガスタンク１７の半球状の部分と、貨物倉横隔壁３１との間の空間に貨物機器室３３を設けてもよい。
具体的には、液化ガスタンク１７の両端が半球状の場合、長手方向の最先端部１６の上方で、かつ液化ガスタンク１７の半球状の部分と貨物倉横隔壁３１の間には空間が生じる。この空間に貨物機器室３３を配置する。
この構造では貨物機器室３３の頂部がタンク頂部を大きく超えないため、上部構造物の高さを抑制できる。
また、この構造では、貨物倉横隔壁３１を貨物機器室３３の側壁とすることで、側壁を別途設置する必要がなく、コストや製造工数の点で有利である。
さらに図１のように液化ガスタンク１７の上方が貨物タンクカバー１９で覆われている場合、貨物タンクカバー１９を貨物機器室３３の天井とすれば、天井を別途設置する必要もなく、コストや製造工数の点で益々有利である。ただし、貨物タンクカバー１９を貨物機器室３３の天井とすると貨物機器室３３の高さが不足する場合は、貨物機器室３３の一部を貨物タンクカバー１９の上方に突設し、天井を別に設けてもよい。なお、液化ガスタンク１７が暴露甲板６１よりも上方に位置しない等の理由で貨物タンクカバー１９がない場合は、暴露甲板６１を貨物機器室３３の天井とするか、貨物機器室３３の一部を暴露甲板６１の上方に突設し、天井を別に設ければよい。 For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when a plurality of liquefied gas tanks 17 are arranged in series and the curved surfaces are convex toward the outside of the tank such that both ends in the longitudinal direction are hemispherical, the most advanced portion in the longitudinal direction of the liquefied gas tank 17 is formed. Above 16, the cargo equipment room 33 may be provided in the space between the hemispherical portion of the liquefied gas tank 17 in the cargo compartment 7 and the cargo storage lateral partition wall 31.
Specifically, when both ends of the liquefied gas tank 17 are hemispherical, a space is created above the cutting edge portion 16 in the longitudinal direction and between the hemispherical portion of the liquefied gas tank 17 and the cargo hold lateral partition wall 31. The cargo equipment room 33 is arranged in this space.
In this structure, since the top of the cargo equipment chamber 33 does not greatly exceed the top of the tank, the height of the superstructure can be suppressed.
Further, in this structure, since the cargo hold horizontal partition wall 31 is used as the side wall of the cargo equipment room 33, it is not necessary to separately install the side wall, which is advantageous in terms of cost and manufacturing man-hours.
Further, when the upper part of the liquefied gas tank 17 is covered with the cargo tank cover 19 as shown in FIG. 1, if the cargo tank cover 19 is used as the ceiling of the cargo equipment room 33, it is not necessary to separately install the ceiling, and the cost and manufacturing are not required. It is more and more advantageous in terms of man-hours. However, if the cargo tank cover 19 is the ceiling of the cargo equipment room 33 and the height of the cargo equipment room 33 is insufficient, a part of the cargo equipment room 33 is projected above the cargo tank cover 19 and the ceiling is separated. It may be provided. If the cargo tank cover 19 is not provided because the liquefied gas tank 17 is not located above the exposed deck 61, the exposed deck 61 may be used as the ceiling of the cargo equipment room 33, or a part of the cargo equipment room 33 may be used. It may be provided above the exposed deck 61 and a ceiling may be provided separately.

船橋２３を船首区画９の暴露甲板６１に設けている場合、貨物機器室３３の全部若しくは一部を機関区画５の上方に配置してもよい。図６では貨物機器室３３の全部を機関区画５の上方に配置している。この構造では、船橋２３を機関区画５の上方に設置する場合に船橋２３が設けられる位置に貨物機器室３３が設けられる。
この構造では液化ガスタンク１７の上方ではなく、液化ガスタンク１７から船尾側にずれた位置に貨物機器室３３が配置されるため、上部構造物の高さを抑制できる。 When the bridge 23 is provided on the exposed deck 61 of the bow compartment 9, all or part of the cargo equipment compartment 33 may be arranged above the engine compartment 5. In FIG. 6, the entire cargo equipment room 33 is arranged above the engine compartment 5. In this structure, the cargo equipment room 33 is provided at a position where the bridge 23 is provided when the bridge 23 is installed above the engine section 5.
In this structure, since the cargo equipment chamber 33 is arranged at a position shifted from the liquefied gas tank 17 to the stern side, not above the liquefied gas tank 17, the height of the superstructure can be suppressed.

機関区画５の上方に貨物機器室３３を設置する場合、暴露甲板６１を貨物機器室３３の床面３３ａにしてもよい。
ただし貨物機器室３３の床面３３ａを暴露甲板６１よりも高い位置に設けた高床構造にしてもよい。具体的には図６に示すように、暴露甲板６１上に設置された脚部１４に貨物機器室３３の床面３３ａを支持させることで、床面３３ａを暴露甲板６１よりも高い位置に設置すればよい。この場合、床面３３ａと暴露甲板６１の間を側壁等で囲む必要はなく、床面３３ａの下方の暴露甲板６１が船外に露出した状態にしてよい。
この構造では貨物機器室３３の床面３３ａと暴露甲板６１の間に空間が生じるため、係船機等を設けるスペースを貨物機器室３３の下方の暴露甲板６１上に確保できる。
以上が本実施形態に係る液化ガス運搬船１の構成の説明である。 When the cargo equipment room 33 is installed above the engine compartment 5, the exposed deck 61 may be the floor surface 33a of the cargo equipment room 33.
However, a raised floor structure may be adopted in which the floor surface 33a of the cargo equipment chamber 33 is provided at a position higher than the exposed deck 61. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the floor surface 33a is installed at a position higher than the exposed deck 61 by supporting the floor surface 33a of the cargo equipment room 33 on the legs 14 installed on the exposed deck 61. do it. In this case, it is not necessary to surround the space between the floor surface 33a and the exposed deck 61 with a side wall or the like, and the exposed deck 61 below the floor surface 33a may be exposed to the outside of the ship.
In this structure, since a space is created between the floor surface 33a of the cargo equipment room 33 and the exposed deck 61, a space for providing a mooring machine or the like can be secured on the exposed deck 61 below the cargo equipment room 33.
The above is the description of the configuration of the liquefied gas carrier 1 according to the present embodiment.

このように本実施形態の液化ガス運搬船１は、バイローブタンクより軽量な円筒状の液化ガスタンク１７を１つ配置するか、又は複数を直列配置して船側７３とタンクの距離を長くする。
この構成では船幅を広くせずに浸水時のタンク損傷を抑制して横隔壁数を減らすことでタンク長を長くしてタンク数を減らして容積を維持しつつタンク重量を抑制する。
そのため、貨物容積を小さくせずにタンク重量を軽くでき、船幅が広くなるのも抑制できる。 As described above, in the liquefied gas carrier 1 of the present embodiment, one cylindrical liquefied gas tank 17 lighter than the bilobe tank is arranged, or a plurality of cylindrical liquefied gas tanks 17 are arranged in series to increase the distance between the ship side 73 and the tank.
In this configuration, the tank weight is suppressed while maintaining the volume by increasing the tank length and reducing the number of tanks by suppressing the tank damage at the time of flooding and reducing the number of lateral bulkheads without widening the ship width.
Therefore, the weight of the tank can be reduced without reducing the cargo volume, and the width of the ship can be suppressed from becoming wide.
