LNG, the way to go, Hamworthy pumps.

Does not sound to be a HMY problem.

The maritime faults are believed to centre around the gas containment tanks inside the hulls of the vessels. There are concerns that there might be a problem with the glue used to secure the inner lining of the tanks. BG last night played down the danger associated with the problem, saying there had been no actual gas escapes, just leaks of nitrogen used to cool the LNG inside the system.

"There was migration in the level of nitrogen but only in the secondary barrier," said a BG spokesman. "Things point to a construction application rather than a design fault."
