You're welcome.

By the way, one of the very scariest things around is the potential for someone to hijack a ship loaded with liquified natural gas and detonate it at a city port. The force of the explosion from that much LNG would equal that of a 5 kT atomic bomb. (eek!)

I recently read an article by Daniel Yergin ("The Prize") promoting intercontinental shipmt of LNG as the energy of the future. Your scenario suggest the insurance costs make this even more expensive. Yergin did say it would require govt backing.
