ARCTIC PRINCESS
LNG CARRIER
When completed, Arctic Princess was the largest
LNG carrier ever built:
288 meters long with a breadth of 49 m and a
capacity of 147,000 cubic meters of LNG. She is also the first LNG
carrier that will be employed for carrying liquefied
natural gas (LNG) from the world's northernmost LNG
development--Snohvit.
Arctic Princess
is chartered to the Snohvit Sellers
for a period of 20 years.
The LNG is carried at a temperature of minus 163 degrees centigrade in
four Moss containment system spherical tanks, each
with a diameter of 42 meters. A full cargo load of
LNG is sufficient to cover the yearly energy
consumption of all households in a city with a
population of 45,000 people.
The Arctic Princess was
built by Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI) in Japan. delivery
was on schedule in 2006. She
is Moss type (the
tanks are spherical in shape.)
The Norwegian company Moss Maritime designed the
Moss type.
Our first Arctic
Princess
model (and also the world's first) was commissioned by
National Grid/Grain
LNG in 2012. We also built a
Q Max tanker for the company in 2016.

primarily wood

Models
are
built per commissions only. We require only a
small deposit (not full amount, not even half) to start
the process $900. The
remaining balance won't be due until the model is
completed,
in about six months.

The
process will be easy and stress free.
Because you want the best model possible for your proud
ownership, be sure to choose a builder wisely.
Ship models might look
very good from afar but when examined closely, they are quite
different. When
you see a model whose low price is so tempting, do
yourself a favor by looking at its horrible accuracy and
terrible craftsmanship. Easiest to spot is the spheres
size which is way too small. Such an important feature
and they missed. Greatest junk ever exists! A
disgrace to the real ship.
