PURPOSE: A re-evaporating apparatus for an LNG carrier is provided to satisfy the standard of environmental regulation and to improve re-evaporation efficiency. CONSTITUTION: A re-evaporating apparatus(100) for an LNG carrier contains: a housing(110) forming an external wall; an air suction fan(120) formed on the uppermost part in the housing and inhaling air around an LNG carrier; an intermediate fluid circulating pipe(130) formed on the lower part of the air suction fan and circulating intermediate fluids heat-exchanging with the inhaled air; an LNG evaporating pipe(140) formed on the lower part of the intermediate fluid circulating pipe in the vertical direction, and inhaling LNG from the bottom and heat-exchanging with the inhaled air or the intermediate fluids, and then discharging the evaporated natural gas through the top; and a drain pan(150) formed between the top and the bottom of the LNG evaporating pipe, and collecting and discharging the dew-condensed moisture on the LNG evaporating pipe.
