Side-by-side comparison of selected LNG vessel entries
Attribute	FSU Storage capacity on the water, without regasification on board.
Operational role	FSU
Containment system	GTT NO96 Membrane · Moss / Spherical Self-Supporting Type B
Capacity class	Conventional (indicative: approximately 125,000–180,000 m³)
Indicative capacity	125K–180K m³
Tank geometry	Membrane or spherical tanks, storage only
Typical application	Moored storage buffering a regasification plant, a bunkering hub or a transhipment terminal
Hull-space efficiency	As per the containment system of the original carrier hull
Infrastructure requirements	Dedicated mooring and a separate regasification or transfer facility
Propulsion options	Steam turbine · DFDE / TFDE
BOG management	BOG as fuel · Gas combustion unit
Advantages	Extends usable life of older carrier hulls — Adds storage volume without onshore tank construction — Buffers supply between large carriers and smaller distribution vessels
Limitations	Provides no regasification capability on its own — Requires a compatible partner unit or shore plant
Typical routes	Permanently moored storage at transhipment and bunkering hubs
