Pressure type gas carriers: specifics of ships, features of service and prospects for seafarers

Among the specialized fleet engaged in the transportation of liquefied gases, a special place is occupied by pressure type gas carriers. These vessels are designed to transport propane, butane and other hydrocarbon gases under pressure and at ambient temperatures. Unlike refrigerated gas carriers, they have a simpler design, but at the same time require a high level of crew training and strict adherence to safety rules.Working on such a vessel involves technical responsibility and requires certain experience. Let's take a closer look at what they are pressure type gas carriers, what are the features of the service on board and what opportunities do they offer for seafarers.

What are pressure gas carriers??

These are watercraft equipped to transport liquefied gas in special cylindrical tanks designed for high pressure (usually up to 18 bar). Such tanks, unlike isothermal or cryogenic systems, do not require cooling, which makes the design simpler and operation more economical.Main features:

  1. All-welded cylindrical tanks. They are placed above the deck or inside the hull, withstand high pressure and do not require constant thermoregulation.

  2. Compactness. LNG carriers of this type are often smaller in size and are used for coastal transport and supplies to small terminals.

  3. High reliability. Due to the absence of complex cryogenic systems, ships are less susceptible to technical failures, but require constant monitoring of pressure and ventilation.

  4. Flexibility of routes. Due to the ability to enter small ports, pressure vessels are widely used in local logistics and supply.

Service on such ships requires strict discipline and responsibility. Key points to consider when considering vacancies for pressure gas carriers: 

  • increased safety requirements; 

  • work with dangerous cargo; 

  • intensive use of the craft; 

  • technical competence;

  • stable and most comfortable living conditions. 

Modern pressure gas carriers are equipped with comfortable cabins, and life on board is organized according to international standards.

Advantages work on pressure gas carriers

Sailors who choose this type of vessel can count on:

  1. Increased salary level. Working with dangerous goods traditionally pays higher.

  2. Highly specialized experience. Gas carrier experience is valued in the industry and opens the door to further growth in the gas and chemical fleet.

  3. Career prospects. With each contract you will be able to improve your skills, moving from junior positions to senior officers and engineers.

  4. Low flight costs. Everything necessary is provided by the shipowner - food, accommodation, insurance.
