Tundraport LNG terminal
43. Tundraport LNG Terminal
Welcome back everyone! First things first, a huge THANK YOU to all my viewers and supporters for this:
I'm immensely honored you guys put me in the top ten last year, up from #31 in 2011. Hopefully we can have another great year here in the Ring of Fire.
To kick off the new year we'll start small, nothing grandiose. We now travel north to the Yakutat region, where fossil fuels are exported after being pumped from under the frozen tundra and piped to the coast. Today we'll take a look at the LNG terminal of Tundraport, which takes up only a very small part of the extensive port facilities.
01. A docked ship at pier 3
02. Pier 3 is located out at the tip of the terminal.
03. The original piers 1 and 2 are located right next to the storage tanks.
04. The LNG terminal is located out on a small island. The bridge from the island, and it's continuation down to a tunnel that runs over to the barrier islands, is the dividing point between the LNG terminal and the Oil terminal.
05. Both the LNG and Oil terminals have large freshwater resevoirs, for scrubbing out ships, fighting fires, etc.
06. The far end of the resevoir down by pier 3 has storage and a pumping station.
07. At the very end of the road on the tip of the island is beach access.
08. Overview of (most of) the LNG terminal.
09. And at night.
Like i said, nothing big just a small start. That's it for this week. Up next is the eastern part of the expansive Oil terminal. Thanks for stopping by everyone; stay warm out there.
