oa LNG - Quantifying Major Accident Risks

Throughout much of the world, the demand for natural gas has been steadily increasing and is projected to double in<br>the next 15 years. A large portion of the demand can only be met through long-distance marine transport, and for<br>economic reasons, ships carry the product as liquefied natural gas (LNG). While the LNG industry lays claim to an<br>exceptional safety record, safety concerns have threatened to delay or even prevent the expansion as regulators and<br>general public remain unconvinced.
