The Role of Integrated Logistics Support in Enhancing the Reliability of LNG Import Terminals

Technical systems such as terminal for importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) are extremely important and the potential consequences of disruption in their work are exceptionally large. It is expected that the importing LNG terminal has a high degree of reliability, and failure-free operation, i.e. to work within the boundaries of permissible deviations during the entire design life, with a high degree of safety level. Because of high demands regarding the reliability and availability, and the complexity of the system with high dependency between subsystems, it is necessary to ensure integrated logistics support. Integrated approach provides communication with the entire system in real time, managing engineering services and technical activities for collecting data, and analysis and synthesis of information obtained by subsystems, identifies deviations and performs appropriate corrective action, or on the basis of feedback carries out prevention of future deviations and leads to a high degree of reliability of the terminal. This paper will show the importance of scientific research of the integrated logistics support role on the LNG terminals in order to increasing reliability, availability and safety of LNG terminal.
