Page 60 - LNG facility is at a level of less than 10~s year (equivalent to the risks associated with machinery) would require a statistical data base of about 500,000 plant-years of operation without major accident causing a fatality beyond the plant boundaries. Even with major growth in the LNG industry, experience accumulated through the next decade will be about two orders of magnitude below that required to assure a risk level of 10~5 fatality/year by statistical data.
Page 60 - A statistical estimate of risk can be made if enough years of experience with the system are available. Unfortunately, the total operating experience of the LNG industry' is not sufficient to demonstrate that risk levels are acceptably low on a purely statistical basis. For example, to assure that the risk of any fatality from an LNG facility is at a level of less than...

Page 59 - This optimism was soon dispelled by hundreds of cases of unexpected test and operational failures and thousands of system malfunctions. Many of the failures and malfunctions modes had either been previously analyzed and seemed to be noncredible events or had come as a complete surprise which previous analyses had not identified at all.
Page 72 - ... the concentration of exports among a few countries; • inelastic demand for the material; • inelastic supply of the material (or of close substitutes) from sources outside the cartel; and • policy cohesion and export discipline among members to keep supply limited enough to maintain high prices or possibly to achieve other goals as well. Members of the cartel must be strong enough financially to accumulate stocks and forego current export earnings. Liquefied natural gas is somewhat difficult...
Page 20 - LNG/LPG vessels entering, moored in, or leaving a US port. The Coast Guard is responsible for port safety under authority of 50 USC 191, Executive Order 10173, and the Ports and Waterways Safety Act of 1972 (33 USC 1221 et seq.).
