LNG pier

LNG pier

A LNG (liquefied natural gas) pier is a specialized kind of working pier designed for the loading and offloading of liquefied natural gas from ships to shore based tanks.

A typical LNG pier could accommodate LNG carriers from 138,000 cubic meters to 200,000 cubic meters in capacity. The pier would have at least one 44-inch diameter liquid unloading line using cryogenic transfer pumps to transfer the LNG to the LNG storage tanks on shore.

Some of these piers are very long up to 4000 feet, in order to not have to dredge and blast underwater, in order to reach to the depth needed to accommodate LNG tanker traffic.
