Dragon LNG will work with the Milford
Haven Port Authority to assure shipping operations are carried
out safely with minimum disruption to other port users. LNG carriers
are constructed with double hulls and insulated storage tanks
to prevent leakage or rupture even in the event of collision or
grounding. They are fitted with sophisticated systems that monitor
the condition of the cargo, and constantly check for leakage.
The ships use radar, global positioning and communications technology
to constantly monitor their course, speed and position and that
of other vessels nearby. The LNG ship's officers and crew undergo
extensive training to meet internationally recognized standards.
Special articulated arms will be used to transfer LNG from the
ship. When the loading or unloading operations are taking place,
the ship and terminal will be connected by means of a special
communications system that enables cargo transfer to be shut
down very rapidly in an emergency.
Dragon LNG are working with the UK Security
Services to assure security of the ships, jetty and onshore LNG
facilities. Operation of the jetty will also comply with the International
Ship and Port facility Security Code (ISPS), International Maritime
Organisation.
