An LNG carrier, the 162,000 cubic metres “Adam LNG”, was hit by a bulk carrier while at anchor off Gibraltar’s Europa Point, and there were no injuries to either crew, though the cargo ship suffered the most damage and had to be beached off Catalan Bay, a main tourist area on the Rock.
Gibraltar said its new gas-fired power station project had handled its first operation with a small-scale LNG carrier delivery as part of safety trials in the run-up to the start of full operations.
