As the LNG industry evolves there is a quest for better and more efficient solutions for all parts of the LNG chain. Larger and more effective liquefaction plants are being planned; larger ships with efficient propulsion plants are being built; novel containment systems that challenge the traditional systems are being proposed; and new receiving terminals based on novel technology are being developed.
