To obtain an economical hull structure by employing an independent prismatic tank having a large tank volume with respect to a ship size and reducing material cost.

Provided is a LNG ship having a structure in which a substantially prismatic tank is installed inside a hold while not being integrated with a hull structure material, wherein a tank bottom surface is provided with inclined surfaces formed at the left and right sides of a center line direction of the ship as a boundary so that each angle intersecting a horizontal line becomes equal to or smaller than 4.0°, and support bodies integrated with the hull structure material are arranged so as to correspond to the inclined surfaces and the tank is put on the support bodies.

Disclosed is a heat-insulation system for a liquefied natural gas cargo hold, which comprises a primary sealing wall, a secondary sealing wall, and a secondary heat-insulating layer, and is applied to a liquefied natural gas cargo hold. The heat-insulation system for a liquefied natural gas cargo hold comprises a collar stud installed on a line on the upper surface of the secondary heat-insulating layer where an anchor strip is installed.
