This is a model of Mozah, built by Samsung Heavy Industries of South Korea and launched in 2007. Mozah is one of the most important ships in the history of fuel transportation by sea.
She is an ‘LNG’ carrier - meaning that she is designed to transport liquified natural gas.
LNG carriers are among the most difficult vessels to build.
Mozah was the first of a new type of LNG carrier known as Q-Max. At 345 metres long and towering 20 stories tall from keel to masthead, Mozah can carry a staggering 266,000 cubic metres of LNG, enough natural gas to meet the energy needs of 70,000 homes for an entire year.
Q-Max liners are the largest LNG carriers in the world. The Q in their name refers to Qatar - and ‘Max’ means that they are the largest vessels able to dock at the LNG terminals in Qatar.
She is named after Moza bint Nasser, wife of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani who was Emir of Qatar at the time of her launch.
