LNG supply chain
LNG terminals A terminal usually includes a storage facility for imported volumes and can be of several different types and sizes: Large terminals (import terminals) Intermediary terminals Smaller terminals (filling stations)
LNG terminal facilities
LNG Terminal Location criteria Dimensions and terminal design Location of land based users Safety and security aspects Exiting jetties or location of possible new jetties Safety zones Distribution systems for gas grid, road, rail Market potential and possible demand expansion Costs Environment The requirements for an optimal location of an LNG terminal for marine purposes is to find suitable onshore terminal areas that: are located remote from any existing commercial marine operations are on a safe distance from centres of population provide safe marine access to berth(s) are located in sheltered water
Bunkering alternatives
Selecting bunkering method In order to select the best solution for an individual port, or LNG terminal, the following parameters are critical: LNG bunkering volumes Physical limitations in port Logistic issues Types of vessels and shipping companies Safety issues
Introduction of LNG Approved technical solutions Lack of relevant legislation Risk awareness Attitudes opinion acceptance Contingency preparedness - Improved fire safety Operational guidelines Minimize risks for interaction with other ship traffic Safety distances during loading and bunkering processes Weather control Training on all levels
