Abstract: Cargo spill and fire hazard potential associated with the marine handhng of liquefied natural gas (LNG) were studied. Principal empahsis was on cargo transfer operations at receiving terminals, and more specifically, on the LNG tankers cargo handling and hazard sensing and control equipment and operations. Analytical procedures included historical (statistical) analysis of failure incidents for land-based and marine LNG operations and for operations with analogous cargoes, formal fault tree analysis of a composite LNG tankers cargo and hazard control systems,calculationof magnitudes of potential hazards, estimation of on-site (shipboard and immediate environs) risk of fire fatality for a range of spill sizes, and calculation of fire control capabilities provided by( I) regulation, (2) current shipfitting practice, and (3) a most effective, practical system. Despite present high quality standards of design, construction, and materials for LNG tanker cargo handling equipment, hazard control systems are necessary.
