It's not really NIMBYism when the entire region, including the entire city of Malibu itself, sits on top of an active earthquake zone that likes to let a big one rip every decade or so. EQ's aren't a hypothetical threat here...it WILL happen, sooner or later. The people of Malibu just don't want one of these ships sitting in their harbor the next time mother nature decides to shake things up. Considering the destructive potential of these ships, I have to say that it's a reasonable fear.

That said, andchoring and offloading the LNG 20+ miles offshore seems like a great compromise.
