Aries astray

摘要

The LNG Aries, with 32 crew members in addition to the master and the chief engineer, was loaded with 125,469m~3 of LNG at the port of Ras Laffan in Qatar and left the port with an even keel of 11.35m on 15 November 2012. After bunkering at the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, it departed for the Toden-Ogishima LNG Berth in Section 2 of Kawasaki Quarter, Keihin Port on 17 November. The vessel needed to cool down its LNG unloading pipe to prepare for the LNG discharge before entering into the Keihin Port, and started the cool down process at slightly before 09:30, on 3 December, when a pilot of Tokyo Bay came aboard.
