How much gas can a LNG tanker carry?

A typical LNG (liquefied natural gas) tanker can carry between 125,000 to 266,000 cubic meters of LNG. The capacity varies based on the design and size of the vessel, with larger vessels, known as Q-Flex and Q-Max tankers, having capacities on the higher end. For example, a Q-Max tanker can hold up to about 266,000 cubic meters of LNG. This translates to roughly 90 million to 170 million British thermal units (BTUs) of energy, depending on the specific energy content of the gas.
