据离岸工程1月21日消息称，全球浮式液化天然气动力船市场在2017年占7.8014亿美元，预计到2026年将达到10.7354亿美元，从2017年到2026年的年复合增长率为3.6％。

根据《调查与市场》的市场研究报告显示，一电力需求的增长、电力基础设施的缺乏以及混合燃料发动机的增加等因素推动了市场的增长。

然而，与运营、维护、运输和物流相关的高资本成本等因素正在抑制市场增长。

报告指出，浮式液化天然气动力船市场为世界各国采用液化天然气作为能源提供了充足的增长机会。

在船舶类型中，动力船部分在预测期内占据了相当大的市场份额。该动力船通常用于能源租赁市场的短期和中期合同。

大多数项目使用100兆瓦至150兆瓦的电力，并使用液体燃料或天然气。

根据地理位置，亚太地区在预测期间占据了市场主导地位。亚太地区人口的增长增加了对电力的需求，这是推动浮式LNG动力船市场的主要因素之一。

此外，一些国家的政府正在加大投资力度以满足该地区日益增长的电力需求。

Floating LNG Power Vessel Market Set to Exceed USD 1 Bln

The Global Floating LNG Power Vessel market accounted for $780.14 million in 2017 and is expected to reach $1,073.54 million by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2017 to 2026.

According to a market research report by ResearchAndMarkets, some of the factors such as growing demand for power coupled with the lack of power infrastructure and increase in hybrid fuel engines are fueling the market growth.

However, factors such as high capital cost associated with operations, maintenance, transportation, and logistics are restraining the market growth, it said.

Floating LNG Power Vessel market provides ample opportunities to growth in adoption of LNG as an energy source in various countries across the world, it pointed out.

Amongst Vessel Type, Power Ship segment accounted held significant market share during the forecast period. The power ship is normally used in the energy leasing market for short- and mid-term contracts.

Most of the projects use power between 100 MW and 150 MW and run on liquid fuel or natural gas.

By geography, Asia Pacific dominated the market during the forecast period. The growth of population in the Asia Pacific region has increased the demand for electricity, which is one of the major factors driving the floating LNG power vessel market.

Also, the governments of several countries are spending heavily to meet the increased demand for power in this region.
