Why Is Class Suddenly Paying So Much Attention to Insulation? The Real Last Line of Defense on an LNG Ship
Beyond “keeping things cold” — the three safety barriers every cryogenic insulation system must deliver

Whether it’s a membrane LNG ship built around a Mark III / NO96-type containment system or a self-supporting tank, one weak link in the cryogenic cargo system can become a serious problem fast. That’s why classification societies such as DNV, ABS, and CCS have been getting stricter about insulation materials.
