Hazmat Security Lautenberg introduces hazardous cargo bill
   Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said he had introduced a bill aimed at improving the security of shipments of hazardous cargo, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).   
      The Maritime Hazardous Cargo Security Act of 2009 would require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to improve security for the vessels and facilities that ship and receive particularly dangerous chemicals and petrochemicals.
      'Ships bringing liquefied natural gas from foreign ports — and the plants along our shores that receive them — must be better secured against terrorism,' Lautenberg said.
