close linkage between the demand for natural gas and LNG carriers. Thus any factor enhancing demand or
production of natural gas is bound to augment the demand for gas carriers as well. Despite a multitude of
positive factors restraints such as dwindling Chinese and European Economy (leads to less consumption of
primary energy), restart of nuclear reactors in Japan (possible switch back to nuclear fuel for power
generation) and regular cost overruns amid dwindling oil and gas prices leading to a delay in scheduled start
date of LNG projects could dampen or delay the demand for LNG carriers.

Segments Covered
Segmentation of the LNG carrier market can be done on the basis of capacity added per type of technology
and geography. Prismatic Design, Moss Type and Membrane type are the major type of vessels used to
transport LNG. Majority of the LNG Vessels are in between 4,400,000 to 4,800,000 cu ft. in capacity and
contains facilities to maintain cryogenic temperatures for storage of natural gas.
In this report the LNG carrier market is segmented by technology and further segmented by volume and
revenue. By technology segmentation by volume and revenue covers moss type, prism type and membrane
type.
Geographies Covered
The LNG carrier market covers analysis of regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and RoW
(including Latin America, Middle East and Africa). Among the geographies, EIA forecasts that natural gas is
likely to become a vital cog of future primary energy demand and is expected to account for nearly 29% of
total primary energy consumed in the U.S.
