摘要

The international liquefied natural gas (LNG) indus-try continues to grow,and moves stranded natural gas (NG) from countries that have surplus supply to expanding markets.In order to fulfill global demand,the number of facilities being built to export,ship and import LNG has also increased tremendously.LNG storage tanks (Fig.1) play a prominent role in this process and are typically on the critical path for constructing LNG terminal projects.
