PURPOSE: A device for processing leaking liquefied natural gas is provided to safely process liquefied natural gas leaking from a cargo tank. CONSTITUTION: A device (1000a) for processing leaking liquefied natural gas comprises a cargo tank (100a), a collection unit (200a), an ejector (300a), a first pipe (10a), a high-pressure gas injector (400a), a second pipe (20a), a storage tank (500a), and a third pipe (30a). The cargo tank stores liquefied natural gas therein. The collection unit collects the liquefied natural gas leaking from the cargo tank. The ejector inhales the collected liquefied natural gas using the Bernoulli's theorem. The first pipe connects the collection unit and the ejector to each other. The high-pressure gas injector injects high-pressure gas to the ejector. The second pipe connects the ejector and the high-pressure gas injector to each other.
