MOL outlines lessons learned from LNG ship cargo release

Japanese shipowner Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) has given details about its moves to improve vessel operations following an accidental release of LNG from a vessel at Barcelona’s terminal last year.

Speaking to TradeWinds, London-based MOL LNG-E managing director Andy Richardson said the incident — details of which were not widely reported outside Spain — saw some 11 cbm of LNG released from the 138,000-cbm Fuwairit (built 2004) at Enagas’ terminal on 19 June 2015.
