DNV notes that this video is not intended to represent “the correct way”, but rather is an input to the ongoing discussions related to the LNG bunkering.
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?
