What Crew Members Say About Lijmiliya

The UK is preparing for the arrival of the LNG tanker Lijmiliya at Milford Haven port on July 25, according to shipping data from Refinitiv Eikon. This sizable vessel, boasting a capacity of 259,000 cubic meters, is making its way from Qatar, marking another significant moment in the ongoing energy supply dynamics. As demand for liquefied natural gas continues to rise, the arrival of the Lijmiliya underscores Britain's commitment to diversifying its energy sources.

On July 10, 2016, a routine pilot transfer became a concern when a Port of Milford Haven pilot boat collided with another vessel, resulting in three crew members sustaining minor injuries. The incident occurred during the early hours while alongside the LNG carrier, Lijmiliya. The Port of Milford Haven has confirmed that this hard contact led to hospital attention for the affected crew. Fortunately, all injured personnel are now recovering at home. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident is underway to ensure the safety of future operations.
