Good point Ciccio,

LPG mutates into a gas without going through the vapour state. Much more volatile.

Just the type of thing super-yacht owners like to hear.

Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna are able to confirm this.

The blast from this gun pales into insignificance when compared to the blast in case of an accidental explosion.

One only has to think what would happen to the power station and the consequences that would follow. Imagine having no electricity, and not just as a temporary power cut.

Good words for their future epitaph.

Correction. I should have said ‘and not at 20 bar’.

LNG is not stored at twenty x atmospheric pressures.

Valent, LPG is the type of gas we have in cylinders in our homes. I am not aware that if it is allowed to escape from the cylinder it will form a white vapour before it becomes explosive.

Besides, the report in your link quotes a Chinese newspaper as source.

That would put Malta on the map (and off it) as hosting the largest fireworks festival of all time. Little Joey would be proud.

It’s not just a question of moving the FSU out to sea as it would then need a regasifier. Hence an FSRU would be needed as it would not be feasible to transport LNG at -162C to shore.
