Korea Gas’ Pyeongtaek LNG terminal in South Korea experienced a minor leak last month following a scheduled overhaul of the unloading arms.



The 127,500-cbm Northwest Sandpiper (built 1993) was discharging at the facility’s berth number one, according to sources.



The vessel disconnected, seals and ball valves were replaced on the arm in question, and discharging recommenced using the two remaining arms.



In Taiwan, meanwhile, a dispute is said to have arisen over safety during discharge operations from the Qatari-chartered 145,130-cbm Maersk Qatar (built 2006) at CPC’s Yung An receiving facility in early August.
