Safe distance for LNG unloading
Thread Content
We are working on a port project that is still under construction; currently, we are carrying out tasks such as the installation and welding of steel structures at the port. The company next to us is an LNG storage company that often carries out operations related to LNG unloading from ships. What distance should our open-flame operations maintain from their ships to ensure safety? Are there any relevant standards?
When performing open-flame operations, maintain a distance of 50 meters from their ship
Open-flame operations are prohibited within 40 meters; therefore, the safety distance must be 40 meters or more (not including 40 meters)
It’s more than that, I heard it’s two or three hundred meters
It should be a few hundred meters; an LNG leak is no joke at all
