Why LNG is Not Moving from Alaska to US Ports
August 28, 2012 | FuelFix.com

Alaska has a glut of natural gas and an LNG export facility. However, one of the reasons that it can not ship the gas to other ports in the United States is a law that requires the transporting vessel to be built, owned, registered and crewed by U.S. citizens. There are no available ships that meet these requirements.
