Mobile Register story on LNG safety:

Opinions of independent scientists —

• Jerry Havens
  • federally-funded LNG researcher.
• James Fay, LNG Safety Expert and Professor Emeritus at MIT
  • LNG work is cited in Congressional reports;
  • work is the basis for many scientific predictions related to LNG.

Widespread cracking occurred in the 9% nickle-steel sperical tanks of LNG/C Asake Maru and her sister vessel Norman Lady. This report describes the assessment, repair, and refurbishing process that took place in 1998. Note: According to the report, all later vessels have been built with aluminum tanks.
