There is a high developing rate of liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and sales industry in the world. Twenty-seven large-tonnage plants produce LNG. Six plants are being built and more than 20 plants are being designed. The world fleet of LNG-tankers for LNG delivery to its customers include 317 vessels. Their number is increasing, for example, in 2012 369 tankers will ship LNG. Sixty-eight terminals have been built for LNG acception and regasification; 21 terminals are being built and 40 are being designed. The article shows formation and development of production, storage, shipment, acceptance and LNG regasification technologies. The structure of LNG accepting terminals has been given. Prospects of their efficiency increase at the expense of useful application of LNG cold for power generation have been considered.
