The 1998 built South Korean LPG tanker No.5 SJ Gas has leaked gas at China’s Dongying Port on Saturday. The gas leaked out after the ship failed to shut down the valve for one of the cargo tanks. The 4,000 dwt vessel was carrying around 1,850 tons of LPG onboard. Local maritime safety administration started contingency plans immediately after receiving a notice from the master of the ship and towed the vessel away from the busy port area to a nearby anchorage.
