LNG is an odorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive liquid, and if spilled, LNG would not result in a slick. Absent an ignition source, LNG evaporates quickly and disperses, leaving no residue. There is no environmental cleanup needed for LNG spills on water.
As a liquid, natural gas occupies only 1/600th of the space it would occupy as a vapor, so large volumes can be transported safely and easily.
The safety record of the LNG shipping industry is impressive, with 40,000 voyages worldwide covering more than 60 million miles without a significant LNG release or loss of life. LNG tanker transportation is marked by more than four decades of steady technology development.
A simple vaporization process heats the LNG when it reaches its destination to convert it back to clean-burning natural gas for distribution to the customer.
