Title: Improving LNG Simulation Models With Weather Routing Analysis

Abstract: This simulation model has been developed in order to study the shipment of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) between Northern Russia and the East Coast of the United States. It was programmed by Pacific International Computing (PIC), which is now part of Bechtel, and subsequently modified by Tenneco and Texas Eastern. The model considers 20 ships, one loading port, one unloading port, with three berths in each port. The round trip time is about 20 days, including one to three days in port and the rest at sea. The ships studied are 20 knot, 125,000 cubic meter vessels. The model was constructed in order to study the basic behavior of the complete system, and to study the effects of different start-up strategies. The system under consideration is a base load system. The model contains no economic analysis, but data developed by the model can be input to another program designed for that purpose.
