On the basis of the systematic analysis of the development and construction characteristics of the natural gas transportation and reserve system around the Bohai-Rim region，the key layout issues of liquified natural gas（LNG）terminals in the region are put forward.It is proposed for the first time that the layout of LNG terminals around the Bohai-Rim region should take the four-month winter demand index as its main basis for the supply of terminal capacity.Furthermore，indicators such as the layout scale of regional LNG berths are advanced.On this basis，focusing on the urgent need for natural gas supply around the Bohai-Rim region over the“14th Five-Year Plan”period，this paper presents the regional LNG terminal layout and site selection ideas and recommends key port sites for development in view of port site conditions.
