Techno-economics of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Imported with Marine Transportation

To import the natural gas from oversea fields will go far towards solving an unbalance between gas demand and supply. The reasonable importing cost is one of important factors for the establishment of the LNG industry, which is characterized by a highly complex system composed of interrelated functional factors. This paper deals with an actual FORTRAN program which is the simulation model on the CIF cost in the LNG importing industry and presents with an example of calculation.
