Polish Maritime Research, 21(1), 77-88. https://doi.org/10.2478/pomr-2014-0011http://hdl.handle.net/2183/36797[Abstract] Reliquefaction technologies are being currently applied on board liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers on the basis of economic criteria and energy efficiency. A variety of reliquefaction techniques have been developed so far during the last decade. Nevertheless, technology enhancement continues being a research area of interest. In this article the different technologies applied to the reliquefaction of the boil-off gas (BOG) on LNG carriers have been described, analysed and discussed, contributing to highlight the process and operation characteristics as well as selection plant criteria. Finally, a comparison of the different reliquefaction plants, considering their capacities and efficiencies as well as other technical data of interest has been carried out.engCreative Commons Atribución CC BYhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ReliquefactionBoil-off gasVesselBrayton CycleEfficiencyjournal articleopen access10.2478/pomr-2014-0011
