Why LNG emergency STS planning is becoming more critical

Emergency STS planning has always been a balance between risk and cost. But with increasing traffic of vessels loaded with LNG or fueled by it, it is now becoming more critical for companies to plan for this event. A study by a company in Norway found that there are significant hotspots globally that are familiar to any mariner or seafarer. The conclusions was that human error was the main cause of incidents and that vessel navigational risk assessments need to be kept updated and regularly evaluated. CryoSafe believe that LNG operators should have emergency access to STS systems and If you would like to discuss emergency planning for LNG fueled vessels or LNG carriers please contact us.
