Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is related to a method for turndown of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant (10), the plant including a liquefaction unit (20) arranged in a flow path (24) of the plant. The method comprises: removing LNG from a first location (22; 21) in the flow path downstream of the liquefaction unit; vaporizing the removed LNG, or heating the removed LNG so that the removed LNG is transformed to gas phase; and re-admitting the vaporized or transformed LNG to the flow path at a second location (34; 38) upstream of the liquefaction unit. The present invention is also related to a corresponding LNG plant (10).
