A liquefied natural gas terminal is a facility for managing the import and/or export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). It comprises equipment for loading and unloading of LNG cargo to/from ocean-going tankers, for transfer across the site, liquefaction, re-gasification, processing, storage, pumping, compression, and metering of LNG.

Cargo cannot be loaded directly into the tank, as the presence of oxygen would create an explosive atmospheric condition within the tank, and the rapid temperature change caused by loading LNG at −162 °C (−260 °F) could damage the tanks. First, the tank must be 'inerted' to eliminate the risk of explosion.
LNG port terminals are purpose-built port terminals designed to accommodate large LNG carrier ships designed to load, carry and unload LNG. These LNG terminals are located adjacent to a gas liquefaction and storage plant (export), or to a gas regasification and storage plant (import), which are themselves connected to gas pipelines connected to ...
U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) company Chienere Energy Inc loaded its first cargo from the third liquefaction train of its Corpus Christi plant in Texas, according to the company's Twitter ...
A powerful cyclone that swept across parts of Western Australia caused disruptions to shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG), with at least two cargo loadings being cancelled, industry sources ...
Moss type LNG tanker. The seaborne transport of liquefied gases began in 1934 when a major international company put two combined oil/LPG tankers into operation. [2] The ships, basically oil tankers, had been converted by fitting small, riveted, pressure vessels for the carriage of LPG into cargo tank spaces.
Rocketing LNG cargo prices have squeezed out dozens of smaller traders, concentrating the business in the hands of a handful of international energy majors and top global trading houses. This grip ...
Ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operation is the transfer of cargo between seagoing ships positioned alongside each other, either while stationary or underway. Cargoes typically transferred via STS methods include crude oil, liquefied gas (LPG or LNG), bulk cargo, and petroleum products.
