The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) has blamed partially open valves for a bunkering accident that resulted in a tonne of oil leaking on to the deck of an LPG carrier.
The mishap was revealed in the organisation's latest safety digest.
MAIB said the unnamed LPGC was at anchor while a plan was drawn up to load low sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO) and then high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO).
