Onshore LNG receiving terminal - risk analysis

European Union member countries were obliged to harmonize their national legal framework with the “Directive of the EU Council no. 2008/114/EC on the identifi cation and designation of European critical infrastructures and the assessment of the need to improve their protection”. Among these critical infrastructures are onshore LNG receiving terminals, involving specifi c LNG-related hazards. Properly identifi ed hazards represent a basis for risk analysis, and for subsequent determination of risk reduction measures to ensure safe and reliable operation of the terminal. This report gives an overview of relevant hazards, risks and risk management strategy for the planned onshore LNG receiving terminal “Adria LNG” in Omišalj, on Krk island, Croatia.
