| The Norwegian LNG
company, Höegh LNG,
has announced its intention to develop another Offshore
LNG terminal 35 Kilometres also
off the coast of Blackpool in Morecambe Bay – in the Irish
Sea. The project – called
“Port Meridian Offshore Morecambe Bay" -
will use SRV technology, which is an LNG vessel with onboard LNG
vaporisers. |
| Gateway Storage Company Ltd
plans to build an underground natural gas storage facility in the East
Irish Sea called "The Gateway Project",
approximately 25 km (15 miles) offshore, south west of
Barrow-in-Furness. Storage caverns will be developed in a natural salt
structure below the seabed and will enable gas to be delivered, stored
and then returned to the UK´s national transmission system. The
offshore facility will provide a significant boost to the security of
energy supply in the UK gas market and will help to meet the strategic
energy policy objectives of the UK government. When completed, the
caverns will have a working capacity of 1.512 billion standard cubic
meters (~559 million therms), adding nearly 30% to the current gas
storage capacity in the UK market . |

website against the Hess LNG project in Weaver's Cove, Fall River,
Massachussets, USA from Rhode Island called 'SAVE BRISTOL HARBOR'. Visit this web site to view a power point simulation of LNG
tankers which potentially would destroy the beautiful Narragansett and Mount
Hope Bays....a scenic and recreational treasure. It proves that Hess will stop at nothing to get its way. |

| Plan for an Oil and Gas Storage Hub
surrounding the proposed LNG regasification terminal in what would
become the most sizeable hazard in Ireland. This project is being
pushed by Shannon
Development which lost its main job-creation role in July 2005 to the
IDA and Enterprise Ireland, but retained its property-management
