Only this makes seaborne transport economic on routes without a pipeline. At an import terminal the LNG is pumped from the tanker into insulated storage tanks, re-gasified and fed into the gas grid; send-out capacity is measured in gigawatt hours per day. For logistics, LNG matters in two roles: as cargo in tanker shipping and as a fuel for vessels ","inDefinedTermSet":{"@type":"DefinedTermSet","name":"Glosario Logístico Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/es/glossary"},"url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/es/glossary/lng-liquefied-natural-gas","inLanguage":"es","dateModified":"2026-09-20T16:16:18.096706","citation":"https://www.ebb.dlng-sico.com/","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/glossary/es/lng-liquefied-natural-gas","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"LNG (liquefied natural gas) · LNG stands for liquefied natural gas: natural gas cooled to around minus 162°C, which shrinks it to roughly one six-hundredth of its gaseous volume. · Quelle: https://www.ebb.dlng-sico.com/"}
