Above: Shown is a larger, expanded ship able to transport CNG at 60-75 Knots smoothly and fast through elevated sea-states. Wisdom suggests consideration may be given to having two or even three smaller such vessels with high-speed travel to the same or different markets, thus affording increased flexibility with markets changes, as compared to one very large dedicated CNG ship.
