An LNG tanker is a specialized tanker that transports liquefied natural gas (LNG) in bulk. It is a ship designed for the transportation of large quantities of LNG, which is a refrigerated liquid form of natural gas. LNG tankers are built to withstand the extremely cold temperatures that occur during transport.
LNG tankers are increasingly being used in aviation to supply liquefied natural gas for aircraft refueling. They deliver LNG to airports lacking on site storage, helping improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. New LNG terminals at airports aim to streamline refueling processes and ensure a steady, reliable fuel supply for modern aviation operations.
An oil tanker named Cherokee was constructed in 2016 by Hyundai Heavy Industries (South Korea). The ship is flying the Greek flag and is classed by ABS with a total DWT of 158594. Cherokee was delivered to Giant Sea Logistics. on September 13, 2020, and has been under the company’s management ever since.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is created by cooling natural gas to -161°C and shipped to countries without pipeline access. Its transport requires specialized vessels, skilled managers, and trained crews. Delays during loading, transit, or discharge can have serious financial consequences for all parties involved.
We provide LNG ship management services focused on safety and reliability. As the fastest growing natural energy source, LNG is valued for being cleaner and more versatile. Global demand is rising, with a surge in new carrier orders placed at shipyards, especially in Asia.
