DOE and Industry Expect the United States to Become a Significant Exporter of LNGCustomers of U.S. LNG Have Responsibility for Transporting LNG from Liquefaction Facilities; About 100 or More LNG Carriers May Be Needed to Transport Expected U.S. LNG Exports in the Coming Years; IF THE PROPOSED REQUIREMENT DOES NOT REDUCE THE EXPECTED DEMAND FOR U.S. LNG, IT COULD EXPAND EMPLOYMENT FOR U.S. MARINERS AND SHIPBUILDERS; If Demand is Not Reduced, Maritime Stakeholders Say the Proposed Requirement Could Expand Employment for U.S. Mariners, though Time Would Be Needed for Training

A Few U.S. Shipyards Expressed Interest in Building LNG Carriers, but a Number of Challenges ExistIf LNG Customers Contract to Purchase U.S.-Built Carriers, Construction of those LNG Carriers Could Provide Employment in U.S. Shipyards, according to Shipyard Representatives; U.S.-BUILT CARRIERS WOULD INCREASE TRANSPORTATION COSTS AND WOULD LIKELY REDUCE DEMAND FOR U.S. LNG; The Proposed Requirement Would Increase Transportation Costs For U.S. LNG Exports; INCREASED TRANSPORTATION COSTS WOULD REDUCE U.S. COMPETITIVENESS IN THE LNG MARKET
