The 130 kg LNG leak in early May 2014 from the ferry bunkering facility revealed severe faults, and confirm a lot of the critisism made by Prof Vinnem and others over the years. The main deficiencies according to DSB:

• ESD system did not function as specified, isolation took too long time
• It could not be documented that operators had required competence, nor had been given relevant training in order to conduct bunkering in a safe manner
• It could not be documented that risk assessment had been conducted before deviations from procedures were decided
• The fire brigade was never informed about the leak.
