Yesterday’s Boston Herald reported that 63 LNG vessels transited Boston Harbor in 2005, an increase of 61% over transits in 2001, but slightly fewer than the 67 transits in 2004. A spokesperson for Distrigas says the increase in shipments is attributed to greater use of natural gas by Everett’s Mystic Generating Station to fire generators.
