DOWNSTREAM OIL THEFT: COUNTERMEASURES AND GOOD PRACTICES

I was once asked how we would insure an LNG ship against piracy. I asked them what the pirates would do with the cargo? They looked puzzled. I told them that LNG is a cryo liquid that requires specialized terminals and equipment to make use of. You cant use them or sell their cargo in small lots to people on the black market. Once those pirates have been stuck with an LNG vessel they will take extra care of not ever stealing one more. The same is true for road takes for of LNG. Make the move to LNG and forget about theft.
