Valdez Port Favored for Alaska LNG Export

摘要

Alaska’s Port Valdez in Prince William Sound has a number of advantages over the Cook Inlet as the site for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction and export facility that could one day export 15-20 million metric tons per year of Alaska-sourced LNG to Asian markets, according to a recent study. The study was performed by a ship pilot with 26 years of experience and more than 5,000 vessel movements in Alaska on behalf of the Alaska Gasline Port Authority (AGPA), a longtime advocate of exporting LNG from the state.
