Abstract

The first tank in Finland for storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is currently being built in the port of Pori. It is a full containment tank, capable for 30,000 m3. Two of the many load cases considered in the design correspond to postulated accidents that give rise to complex thermalmechanical problems and are of especial interest in the Pori tank: the major leak event (in which the liquid at -168°C contacts the concrete outer tank) and the external fire (with the tank being subjected to large thermal fluxes from a postulated fire). The paper describes the calculations conducted to verify that the design adopted satisfies the success criteria established for those events.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-20:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 6 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
