Spanish term or phrase: nave metanera
This comes from a letter of intent regarding the use of port facilities for regasification of liqud natural gas. I'm looking for the equivalent technical term in English. THe term occurs in several palces in the document. HEre is one:

"Las especificaciones (tamaño y otras características) que deben tener las ***naves metaneras*** a ser utilizados para traer GNL al Terminal, y las consecuencias aplicables en caso de no cumplirse tales especificaciones, se establecerán en el Acuerdo. Los procedimientos de atraque y de descarga del GNL se establecerán en el Manual de Operaciones Marítimas."
