	LNG
		That ship, similar to an LNG carrier, did not explode; the fire was contained, and the crew was uninjured, she says.
		The LNG will either be "thawed" to its gaseous form at the terminal and piped to homes and businesses throughout the Northeast, or carried as LNG in refrigerated trucks and converted to gas at remote sites.
		Carrying LNG, one of the most profitable and feared fuels in the energy marketplace, the behemoth tanker will be on the last leg of its journey from a distant land, Trinidad, Indonesia, or perhaps Algeria.

	Center for Liquefied Natural Gas - Marine Information - LNG Vessel Safety
		In that time, there have been more than 33,000 LNG carrier trips, covering more than 60 million miles.
		LNG is stored in either double membrane containment systems made of special materials and located within the ship's inner hull or special three-quarter inch thick spherical tanks.
		LNG has been delivered across the oceans for about 45 years without major accidents or safety problems, either in port or on the high seas.

	portland imc - 2005.02.07 - Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Threatens Oregon
		Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that is generally procured abroad, chilled to -259oF, and shipped at this cooled temperature in tankers 1000 ft in length (approximately the size of an aircraft carrier).
		LNG is non-flammable in its liquid state, but it can rapidly expand into its gaseous form when released from its holding tanks.
		LNG is capable of causing freeze burns because of its extremely cold temperature.

	Fluxys LNG
		Fluxys LNG offers from its LNG terminal in Zeebrugge essentially the service of receiving and unloading LNG carriers, buffer storage of the unloaded LNG, regasification and send-out into the Fluxys transmission grid for onward redelivery.
		The Zeebrugge LNG terminal has now received twenty different LNG carriers.
		Sunday 10 June, at 2 p.m., the LNG carrier British Innovator discharged LNG for the first time at the terminal.

	Forbes.com: US lacks 'real-world' model to evaluate LNG safety
		"No models available were identified that account for the multi-hull structure of an LNG carrier and the physics of a release of cryogenic LNG," the report said.
		LNG is natural gas chilled to minus 259 degrees Fahrenheit for transportation aboard tankers from Algeria, Trinidad, Qatar and other exporting nations.
		LNG now accounts for about 2 percent of U.S. gas supply, but the government estimates imports will make up 11 percent of domestic supply by 2015.

	DNV - New compressed natural gas carrier
		The PNG gas carrier concept may, in some cases, make seabed pipelines and onshore Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants superfluous.
		The first target is gas accumulations which are located in areas where neither pipelines nor LNG plants seems feasible for economic or political reasons, such as stranded gas off Canada and in the Barents Sea, and in West Africa where large quantities are flared.
		There is also a potential for small gas fields, where investments in LNG plants and pipelines could not be justified for cost reasons.

		To meet the requirements at offshore loading units or at exposed locations, FMC Loading Systems have developed Chiksan Constant Motion LNG swivel joints, which take into consideration not only the design parameters but also the sea and wind conditions, the carrier movement and the terminal parameters.
		All the FMC Systems to offload LNG have been designed for in situ maintenance of the hydraulic/electric logic control system, the hydraulic drive systems, the Emergency Release System, the hydraulic Quick Connect/Disconnect Couplers (QC/DC) and the Chiksan swivel joints.
		Experience has shown that downtime of the equipment has been all but eliminated as preventive maintenance is carried out between offloading.

		They hold 65% of the world orderbook for LNG carriers and 79% of the new orders placed in 2001 went to Korean yards, despite the fact that Korea is a relative newcomer in the field and the building yards do not hold patents on the key technologies.
		Most affected are container ships and cruise ships, but demand is also lower for crude oil tankers and LNG carriers.
		Demand has remained comparatively stable only in the product tanker segment, due to replacement needs stemming from new EU maritime safety legislation, and in the bulk carrier segment, in which EU yards are no longer active.

	DNV - Kawasaki ready to meet the demand
		So far the largest LNG carrier ready to leave the Kawasaki Sakaide shipyard is the 145,000m3 Lalla Fatma N'Soumer built for the Algeria Nippon Gas Transport Corporation.
		Another differentiator in the market is the demand for small LNG vessels for coastal trade - an area that Kawasaki is not unfamiliar with.
		But this figure is a conservative estimate; it will inevitably increase with the penchant for bigger ships.
