The best way to transport gases is in liquid form. Gases are liquefied by means of cooling or overpressure. Liquefied gases can be transported merely on special-purpose ships, so called LPG/LEG tankers. 

These ships are almost floating chemical plants, looking at the complex technology of the gas plant, the tanks and the piping system. Shipyard staff involved in the construction of the ships needs special know-how, not only in terms of construction, but also when it comes to commissioning. MEYER WERFT has these experts: since 1961 the shipyard has built more than 54 LPG/LEG tankers for carrying liquefied gases and chemicals.

On an international scale MEYER WERFT has a top reputation for building both LPG/LEG tankers and separate tanks. But the shipyard has also gained a lot of experience and expertise in the construction of pressure tanks and gas tanks, so that gas tanks for various applications could be built from a large variety of materials.
