Overview

This document aims to communicate best practice on risk reduction measures for terminals that are designed using prescriptive or risk-based approaches. While this document does not advocate for any one approach, risk-based language is used to help communicate best practice effectively. Products such as LNG, LPG, ammonia and CO2 are covered by this document in response to the growing demand in the liquefied gas industry.

The recommendations in this document are written for organizations involved in the site selection, design and operation of liquefied gas terminals located onshore. Nearshore floating terminals that are within a port facility may also find this document useful. The document focuses on the marine aspects and equipment of a terminal that are directly related to gas carrier operations, such as cargo transfer, piping, controls and emergency response. In support of the IMO's Greenhouse Strategy, this document includes discussion on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships approaching, moored alongside and leaving the berth.

This document updates and replaces the following SIGTTO publications:

• Site Selection and Design for LNG Ports and Jetties (Information Paper No.14) (1997)
• LNG Operations in Port Areas ? Essential Best Practices for the Industry (2003)
  Simulation Information Paper (2010)
• Ship/Shore Interface for LPG/Chemical Gas Carriers and Terminals (2018).
