Norway’s civil defence authorities are conducting an investigation into a serious leak of LNG that occurred during truck-to-ship bunkering operations involving a cruise ferry last month.

Torill Tandberg, department director for industry, products and hazardous substances at the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB), says 100 kilograms of LNG leaked from the hose connection in the bunkering room onboard Fjord Line’s 1,500-passengership newbuilding Bergensfjord on 9 May at Risavika.
