Marine transportation of small-scale LNG is usually thought of in terms of small bulk carriers, with capacities in the tens of thousands of cubic meters of LNG. Use of such vessels for small, distributed power generation can be costly. Within an envelope of supply volume and distance, typically for smaller quantities for remote locations, containerized storage (i.e., ISO containers), using articulated tug-barges or container deck vessels, can be more economical. This paper estimates the break point supply chain capacity between these two LNG transportation options.
