Abstract
A vessel includes a cargo tank storing LNG, a main engine and a sub engine using the LNG stored in the cargo tank as fuel, and a liquefied gas treatment system which includes: a main BOG supply line configured to compress the BOG generated in the cargo tank by a compressor and supply the compressed BOG to the main engine as fuel; a sub BOG supply line configured to compress BOG generated in the cargo tank by a compressor and supply the compressed BOG to the sub engine as fuel; a main LNG supply line configured to compress the LNG stored in the cargo tank by a pump and supply the compressed LNG to the main engine as fuel; and a sub LNG supply line configured to compress the LNG stored in the cargo tank by a pump and supply the compressed LNG to the sub engine as fuel.
