DNV released this video the other day showing the technical details of how exactly an LNG-powered ship such as Eidesvik’s Viking Energy is refueled.

What do you think? See any way this system could be improved? Or how the “trace” amounts of natural gas could be captured or safely flared off vice released into the atmosphere?
