Shannon LNG is proposing to develop a Liquefied natural gas receiving terminal on the Shannon Estuary near Ballylongford and Tarbert in County Kerry to be built and operated by Shannon LNG Ltd, a company owned 50/50 by Hess LNG a subsidiary of the US multinational Hess Corporation and US hydrocarbons trading and transportation company Poten & Partners Inc. The site was originally owned by Shannon Development who have been courting a development for the site for many years owing to its sheltered location. In 2002, the natural gas Pipeline to The West was completed, crossing the Shannon 25 km from the site of the proposed terminal. The project, the first LNG terminal in Ireland, is expected to cost US$569.2 million. The facility would feature four LNG storage tanks, each with a storage capacity of 200,000 cubic metres and a jetty capable of receiving the largest LNG tankers in operation. The terminal will have a send-out capacity of 28.3 million standard cubic metres per day.
