Canaport LNG LP, the partnership of Repsol YPF and Irving Oil, plans to construct a third 160,000 cubic meter liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank alongside its two existing tanks in St. John, NB. The Canaport LNG project, including procurement, engineering and construction, is 46% complete and scheduled to be in operation in late 2008. The third LNG tank was originally approved by the provincial and federal governments under the environmental impact assessment completed on the project in August 2004 and will meet or exceed all international and Canadian standards for safety, the company said. Like the two existing full-containment tanks currently under construction, the third tank will consist of an inner tank made of high-performance 9% nickel steel and an outer tank made of advanced concrete. At commissioning, the terminal will have a sendout capacity of 1 Bcf/d with a peak capacity of 1.2 Bcf/d and could be expanded to 2 Bcf/d.
