Containment SPHERES are not the shipping containers alluded to in the concept of a container-handling terminal. Rather decisive and clear difference. Don't let the happenstance coincidental use of "contain" in your little snippet confuse you.
I am not the one that is confused. I am using quick clips from the net to show that you could educate yourself quickly and easily. Google is your friend. The LNG containers are the latest development in eliminateing the need for expensive LNG terminals. They are handled by basically the same dock systems as cargo containers allowing lower cost dryland fill/unfill terminals which do not monopolize dock space.
In addition, Japex recently, introduced a new mode of LNG transport, "LNG on rail". This unique system, using 10-ton LNG containers, enables more economical LNG transportation. Furthermore, "LNG on rail" ensures reliable delivery compared to tank truck transportation which is often influenced by road conditions... Operation of this unique system consists of three steps. First, the containers are transported from an LNG import terminal to the nearest freight terminal by trailers. Then the containers are loaded onto container rail cars for transport to market areas. Reloaded onto trailers, the containers are then delivered to customers for re-gasification.
