A construction method of a MARK III type
liquefied natural gas transport ship is characterized in that a small dock or an unoccupied area of the dock is utilized, a watertight structural design meeting the structural strength is adopted, and the MARK III type
liquefied natural gas transport ship is divided into two sections to be constructed (a bow half section and a
stern half section) by taking an isolation void compartment of any cargo compartment as a boundary. After the
ballast tank strength test is completed, the whole ship is formed in a floating
butt joint mode, and construction of all working procedures of a cargo containment
system is carried out after
butt joint. After the main ship body is formed and the shaft
rudder system is constructed, the whole ship floats out of the dock, construction of the remaining cargo wall
system is completed in the dock
mooring stage, and the
underwater construction period is shortened. According to the method, the liquid cargo
natural gas transport ship is built by using the small dock and the free area of the dock, a cargo containment system has construction conditions in advance, the building period of the whole ship is shortened, core resources of ship building are efficiently utilized, the total period of ship building is shortened, and the building cost is reduced.
