heal.abstract	The main purpose of this diploma thesis is to propose a innovative design for the transportation of CNG in containers, and the production of the relative techno-economical study for covering the household needs of Thessaloniki, when same is fed by terminal of Limassol in Cyprus.  The first focusing on the main concerns of the ship-owner/manager whose vessel will transport Compressed Natural Gas from the loading terminal to the receiving terminal.  The second focusing on the implicit interests of the terminal owner who intends to charter the CNG vessel. In the beginning reference is made to the current state of the Natural Gas market -both globally and locally-, the Natural Gas’s physical properties are described, and the properties of LNG & CNG are compared, followed by a brief narrative on the history of the development of the LNG Market and the CNG infrastructure in Greece. The second chapter contains a brief CNG supply chain analysis (transportation, storage & distribution), elaborating on probable risks and the thereto associated risk factors & security levels in the process, and outlines the handling methods as well as the advantages, and disadvantages of CNG. The third chapter concerns a brief description in Class Rules which are applied in CNG carrier vessels, and then a presentation for the existing concept designs of CNG transportation in sea, follows. In more detail, the main technical and economical characteristics are included and the chapter’s conclusion is a comparison between them. The fourth chapter elaborates on projects’ appraisal methodologies by making specific reference to the available production engineering approaches in use, the various techniques and criteria for the economic appraisals regarding the investing in a project, such as : the Net Present Value (NPV), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), the Capital Recovery Factor (CRF), the Payback period (PP), and the Profitability Index (PI). The final fifth chapter includes the project’s techno-economic analysis, mainly in the form of charts, and wraps up the conclusions by comparing the project’s related NG consumers’ end-prices with those prevailing in the current NG market.	en
