What is the operating history of LNG regasification terminals?
There are more than 40 LNG marine receiving terminals located throughout the world, predominantly in Japan (24), but also in South Korea (3), Taiwan (1), China (1), Belgium (1), Spain (2), France (2), Italy (1), Portugal (1), Turkey (1), the Dominican Republic (1), and the U.S. (6). Within about 5 years, there are likely to be more than 60 LNG marine terminals. Many of these terminals, particularly most of those in Japan and South Korea, operate in urban locations near heavily populated areas. LNG has an excellent operating history throughout the world. All of these facilities have been operating without serious public safety incidents, some for as long as 40 years.
