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.
