UAC can deliver type IV pressure vessels both as containment systems onboard ships and for purpose of transportation of natural gas as cargo onboard container vessels. We can also supply pressure vessels for transportation of CO2.

Competitive alternative for any application

UAC can deliver type IV pressure vessels both as containment systems onboard ships and for purpose of transportation of natural gas as cargo onboard container vessels. We can also supply pressure vessels for transportation of CO2.

CNG storage and transportation units

We offer marine CNG storage and transportation units with a pressure of 300 bar – by design, using a containerized solution or independent tanks, fixed by a cradle to the tank top. Larger containment volumes may be accommodated by design of larger modules, both in diameter and in length.

When evaluating alternative CNG storage systems in marine environments, corrosion often is considered a decisive factor. UAC pressure vessels are built in a non-corrosive, non-toxic composite, lined with a high-density polyethylene.

Further advantages of UAC glass fiber pressure vessels include weight savings, temperature tolerances, long-term design life and enhanced safety levels, compared to pressure vessels of steel and of those built in other composite materials. Glass fiber pressure vessels are also a much more price competitive alternative compared to carbon fiber.

Filling the gap

CNG storage and transportation

Transporting compressed natural gas requires an assessment of the ideal pressure and temperature in order to optimize the CNG ships and the value chain. Generally, higher pressure and lower temperature offer a higher gas density, influencing containment volume and ship size.

Marine CNG will be able to fill the gap for small and medium volumes, and short and intermediate sailing distances. It is assumed that CNG would be most competitive in emerging coastal markets, in inter-regional areas, where pipelines are either uneconomical or technically challenging, and in island states with strong governmental support for economical and/or environmental developments.
