As of mid-Nov. 1978, the Cove Point LNG terminal, jointly owned by Columbia LNG Corp. and Consolidated System LNG Co., has received 13 shiploads of LNG from Algeria, delivering 30 billion cu ft of gas to regional distribution systems without significant operating or safety problems. Although the terminal has not yet reached its design throughput, performance has been very satisfactory. Although the project required nearly $3 billion for liquefaction, shipping, receiving, and regasification facilities, the gas will enter distribution mains at only $1.89/million Btu.
