LNG rankings
15 generated rankings, each recomputed directly from the tracker rather than compiled by hand: terminals, pipelines, owners and countries, the carrier fleet, its yards, owners, age and order book, capacity by planned and actual start year, project costs, what was cancelled or shelved, and pipeline ownership and length by country.
Every ranking here is a bounded, generated top list built from the same rules the rest of the site enforces — capacity at different statuses is never combined, and an unreported field contributes nothing rather than being estimated. Each page states its own method before its table, because a ranking is only as trustworthy as how it was computed.
