The article presents the current disadvantages of onshore LNG tanks used in the Arctic. A critical analysis of the closest analogue – a floating LNG storage of gravity type - was carried out. On the basis of the results of the critical analysis a completely new design of an underwater LNG storage was offered. Also the principles of submergence and exploitation of the storage were described. The conclusion about the opportunity of application of underwater tank farms was made.
