LNG Storage Tank Market Analysis

LNG-fueled vessels are gaining attraction in the current scenario owing to the fact that LNG is the cleanest form of any ship and vessel fuel available in the market space. The orderbook of LNG-fuelled vessels continues to grow as the shippers are increasingly emphasizing procuring newly built LNG-fuelled vessels or converting conventional vessels to LNG-fuelled vessels, which is one of the major drivers for the market.

LNG Storage Tank Market Overview

The LNG Storage tanks market primarily comprises key stakeholders, namely raw material suppliers, LNG storage tank manufacturers, regulators/shipping container authorities, and end users. The raw material suppliers associated with the LNG storage tanks offer different materials used for the manufacturing of LNG tanks/carriers offered to the manufacturers. The LNG storage tank manufacturers design, install, engineer, maintenance, and deploy the LNG tanks/carriers to meet the requirements of the end-user. The manufacturers have to adhere to various regulations set by the government before manufacturing these tanks. The LNG storage tank provider essentially possesses the technical expertise to provide an efficient and reliable LNG carrier, and LNG fuelled vessels to the shipping industry. Finally, the end-users, such as shipbuilders and ship owners, install these tanks on the ship and offer reliable LNG trade services.

LNG Storage Tank Market Drivers and Opportunities

The presence of a Large Number of Market Players to Favor Market

The higher number of LNG storage tank suppliers along with end users is one of the critical factors propelling the market growth. Some of the leading LNG storage tank market players globally are Chart Industries, Inc.; McDermott International, Inc.; Corban Energy Group; TransTech Energy LLC; and Maverick Engineering, Inc., among others. In APAC, Air Water Inc., CIMC Enric Holding Ltd., IHI Corporation, are some of the major manufacturers of LNG storage tanks. China holds for the largest sea trade business in the region, holding approximately ~60% of the sea trade business in Asia Pacific. Japanese and South Korean LNG storage tank companioes are also have sufficient order volumes year-on-year, which helps in the growth of the LNG storage tanks market in the Asia Pacifc. Product innovation, design and a strong supply chain are some of the major factors driving the LNG storage tanks market globally.

Acceptance of High Manganese Steel

The insulation material procured by the manufacturers is to cover an outer fire-resistant cladding, that generates a hard outer surface. At present, the LNG storage tank manufacturers are procuring high manganese steel, which is considered a new type of steel, i.e., fabricated by adding 3%–27% of manganese to steel. The high manganese steel does not break at an extremely low temperature, which is as low as -196°C. The high manganese steel is much cheaper compared to conventional steel and helps reduce the material and welding costs. Thus, the growing trend of adopting high-manganese steel for the manufacturing of LNG storage tanks is supporting the market growth.
