Terrorism threat raises bar in permit process in US and elsewhere
One of the great public misconceptions is that LNG carriers and facilities are favored terrorist targets
An offshore liquefied natural gas terminal proposed for Long Island Sound between New York and Connecticut poses safety and security risks that would require more firefighters, escort boats and other measures to prevent accidents or terrorist attacks, according to the US Coast Guard.
In addition to the local opposition to East Coast LNG terminals from citizens, security requirements are also now raising potential obstacles to projects even moving beyond the planning stage.

LNG safety expert describes his experiments with earth, wind and fire
Michael L. Moore, an LNG fire protection engineer, explains some of his activities in Texas and elsewhere that have helped in the development of an LNG safety manual. His full test data will be published in the LNG journal in the coming months.
It is September 2004 and a unique opportunity presents itself. I am sitting in another crowded room of engineers and operations managers struggling through yet another hazard and operability (HAZOP) meeting on a proposed offshore LNG terminal.
The participants are discussing the mystifying qualities, properties and characteristics of LNG as part of Chevron Corp.’s LNG Terminals of Excellence Project that included Port Pelican in the Gulf of Mexico.
