A summary of some experimental data on LNG safety.

In a recent paper, Luketa-Hanlin reviewed the information in the public domain related to LNG safety. The purpose of this paper is to supplement that work by providing a summary of the experimental information that Advantica has collected on LNG behaviour over the course of the last 30 years. This summary includes previously unpublished information obtained as a result of a number of collaborative projects. Subjective comments are also made on the status of modelling for each of the topic areas and, in a discussion, views are provided on those areas where there are currently gaps that may have a major impact on evaluating the individual or societal risks associated with LNG operations.
