The liquid-nartural-gas (LNG) market is experiencing unprecedented growth. Under certain conditions;
a floating liquefaction terminal;
or LNG floating processing;
storage;
and offloading (FPSO) vessel could make more sense than a distant onshore liquefaction terminal. Similarly;
with the difficulty to set up a new onshore regasification plant;
floating storage regasification units (FSRUs) make sense. Copyright 2005 Offshore Technology Conference;
