there were concerns that if there is an explosion on a sip carrying LNG - the force may be tremendous.
Actually the explosive risk of LNG is minimal. LNG is only explosive in a fairly narrow air/gas ratio, outside that it just flares. In the late 70's the Coast Guard did extensive tests to determine safety before permitting. I saw video of one where they fired artillery at a LNG tank the size of a rail car. Ruptured the tank and made a huge flame, but no real explosive shock wave.
