GIIGNL Information Paper – Questions and Answers (Q&A’s)
This note describes the causes of an LNG release during the unloading of an LNG carrier in 2015, and makes recommendations based on these for implementation or consideration by onshore LNG terminal operators. The recommendations are grouped into those for immediate action and those which may require research or technical development.
This fifth (2017) edition of the GIIGNL LNG Custody Transfer Handbook reflects GIIGNL’s understanding of best current practice at the time of publication.
The purpose of this handbook is to serve as a reference manual to assist readers to understand the procedures and equipment available to and used by the members of GIIGNL to determine the energy quantity of LNG transferred between LNG ships and LNG terminals. It is neither a standard nor a specification.
