The LNG terminal in Świnoujście, where two large capacity containers (160 000 m3 each) were built, is almost finished (2015). In both cases, prestressed concrete was used to build a secondary (outer) containment tank.This paper is devoted to general concepts and design considerations for secondary cylindrical, concrete containers for the storage of refrigerated, liquefied gases with temperatures between 0°C and –165°C, according to EN 14620.
