surely this is wrong. hundreds of tons would be one rather small barge
It could be right. Hawaii hasn't got an LNG port. Hawaii Gas is currently importing LNG in ISO containers 7,100 LNG gallons
at a time. See lngglobal.com
FERC declined to assert jurisdiction over containerized LNG shipments to Hawaii. See Message 29061584

Of course if Hawaii ever gets serious about using NG they will have to build an LNG import and storage
facility.

As an aside, I noticed today that the Gloucester Times pointed out that they pay less for their gas than
Hawaii.

Officials see costly winter for natural gas

BOSTON — Bay Staters enjoying the final stretch of summer can look forward to a pricey winter for home heating costs, according to state officials.

“It’s going to be a very expensive winter,” Secretary of Environment and Energy Affairs Maeve Vallely Bartlett said during a Tuesday meeting at Tufts Medical Center.

“We are projecting that due to our constrained natural gas supply, that prices in New England will go up for the winter,” she said.

High energy costs have been seen as one of the drags on the Massachusetts economy. Ratepayers in the state spend nearly double what people in Idaho pay for natural gas, though less than Hawaii...

Of course they don't freeze their butts off in winter in Hawaii like the do in Gloucester so the price of
gas there is not an issue.
