Use of support vessels for the protection of LNG carriers and terminals

SIGTTO Working Group

SIGTTO Working Group on the use of support vessels in the emergency response and protection of LNG carriers and terminal was established at the 66th GPC meeting in October 2012.

It first met in December 2012 and there have since been four further meetings. The WG is tasked with defining the expected response, by emergency response craft, for incidents relating to liquefied gas carriers at terminals, including offshore terminals.

The WG is aiming to produce a publication and submit it for approval at the 70th GPC meeting in October 2014. This will enable the publication to be printed and available by the end of 2014.
