Author(s) : KUWAHARA H., OKANO T., SHIOTA T.

Summary

This paper explained the progress of liberalization of Japan's energy markets since 2000 and the growth of gas markets related to LNG, and introduced the Sakai LNG Terminal that was built against this backdrop and has been in operation since January 2006. In particular, it explained the major equipment, equipment layout and business operations from the perspective of the "compact" and "multi-strategy" concepts that are featured in the terminal. Furthermore, it explained the risk assessment that was done in the design phase of the terminal, from basic concepts to results. This risk assessment was based on quantitative calculations using an estimated frequency of occurrence of potential accidents. It was one of the few comprehensive risk assessments in the world to address an entire LNG terminal.
