A recent explosive event involving a liquified natural gas (LNG) carrier laden with Russian Arctic gas should serve as a wake up call.

The Arctic Metagaz, a 23 year old LNG carrier reportedly linked to Russia’s so-called "dark fleet," exploded and caught fire in the Mediterranean Sea in early March while en route to Port Said. Russia's foreign ministry claims that the explosion was caused by a Ukrainian drone strike, but Kyiv has not claimed responsibility. Fortunately, the crew escaped and were rescued without any casualties. As of Saturday, the ship was still afloat and adrift near the coast of Malta.

El "Castillo de Salas" sigue vivo en el recuerdo de Gijón

 

 

El sábado 11 de enero de 1986 el buque "Castillo de Salas", de la empresa nacional ELCANO, llegó a aguas gijonesas, procedente del puerto estadounidense de Norfolk (Virginia); portaba un cargamento de casi cien mil toneladas de carbón siderúrgico para ENSIDESA.
