Does anyone know the status of this project? This article is a year old.

Costa Azul LNG Facility

Sorry, haven't heard.

Something similar was proposed for Texada, a Gulf Island in the Strait of Georgia. This is between Vancouver Island and British Columbia's mainland. Communities large and small from Victoria north protested vigorously, and I've heard no more about it for several months. Its my understanding that once free of a ruptured tank the liquid will stay on the surface until it warms or catches fire, a disasterous situation. Modern tanks of course are much better than when Cleveland had its harbour light up during WW2. I was surprised that Boston has LNG nearby.

A 1,000 foot ship that is only 15 FEET wide? It must have outriggers.

Thanks Doug.

I was SOB last June and really busy at work in Feb. I should have searched first.
