LNG has been safely transported across the oceans for more than 60 million miles of safe transport during the past 40 years.  These double-hulled tankers are specially designed and built to carry LNG. 

On land, LNG is stored at atmospheric pressure in specially engineered and constructed double-walled storage tanks.  Most of these tanks have three-foot concrete exterior walls and an inner tank that is constructed from a steel-nickel metal alloy specifically designed to accommodate the cold LNG.  Should a leak develop in the inner wall, all of the LNG would be contained in the space between the inner and outer walls.  Sophisticated monitoring systems provide constant surveillance for any internal leaks.

LNG is converted back into natural gas by pumping the fluid from the storage tank and heating it to regasify the liquid.  The gas is then ready for delivery through natural gas pipelines to homes and businesses.
