Prospects for the Modification of Gas Tankers in the Arctic Zone

The development of prospects for the modification of gas tankers (gt) is a priority area associated with the active development of the Arctic zone (AZ). The development of natural gas (ng) transportation (T) in the article based on the projection obtained of the methodology application of the system operator (SO) of the theory of inventive problem solving. The study and transfer of the problems that changed the transport system (TS) for the T of unique resources in the past allowed us to form a transfer from the present to a possible modification of the TS for the T of a unique resource (ng) by sea along a unique transport route – the Northern Sea Route (NSR), in the future. In the process of applying the SO's method, an analysis of the system components of the past and present (subsystems), the cause-effect relationships forming the vector of these changes, was carried out by identifying an analogy and an actual request of society and consumers to solve the problem. An analysis of the supra space component, which allows to consider the problems of the phenomenon in the macro-scale, which is also considered in modification based on the identification of existing correlations or repeating components (in part). Based on the data obtained, the prospects for modification of gt in the future, which can become the basis for the formation of new innovative designs for the marine fleet carrying ng.
