Abstract
This chapter presents a case study based on the approach described in Chap. 11. The case is a maritime transport system for distribution of liquefied natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), from a producer to a set of receiving terminals in different geographical regions. The objective is to provide an example of modelling and analysis of interdependency risk in maritime transport infrastructure and potential-related vulnerabilities, where the transport system is part of a tightly coupled energy supply system. The main focus is given to the interdependency risk assessment of supply breaches of LNG based on detailed inventory routing–based simulations. Interdependency modelling and assessment based on the cascade model presented in Chap. 4 is discussed at the end.

Acknowledgments
We would like to express our thanks to the experts that provided input to the LNG transport system contingencies. An article, giving a more comprehensive presentation of this case in relation to a formal vulnerability assessment, is in review process for publication in a scientific journal, with Øyvind Berle as lead author.
