Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a boil-off gas reliquefying method reducing the quantity of flash gas generated in reliquefying boil-off gas generated from a liquefied gas storage tank, to return the obtained liquid to the storage tank. SOLUTION: Boil-off gas generated from a storage tank 1 is compressed by a BOG compressor 2 and then cooled by a liquefying part 5 of a heat exchanger 3. The obtained liquid in a saturated state is once led to a liquid separating drum 6 where noncondensable substance is separated. The liquid is then led to a sub-cooling part 7 of the heat exchanger 3 and cooled again into an overcooled state to return the liquid to the storage tank 1.
