Abstract Thermal insulation panels are installed on the inner walls of liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks of an LNG carrier to maintain the cryogenic temperature. Mastic ropes are used to attach thermal insulation panels to the inner walls and to fill the gap between the walls and panels. Because the inner walls of the LNG tanks can be corrugated owing to production errors, a large amount of mastic ropes are required to maintain the flatness of the thermal insulation panels. Therefore, in this study, an optimization method is proposed to minimize the total amount of mastic ropes for satisfying the flatness criterion of thermal insulation panels. For this purpose, an optimization problem is mathematically formulated. An objective function is used to minimize the total amount of mastic ropes considering constraints to flatten the thermal insulation panels. This function is applied to the design of membrane-type LNG tanks to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method. Consequently, we confirm that the proposed method can provide a more effective arrangement design of mastic ropes compared with manual design.
