Conclusion of the review on the 17.05.2013:

After review of the HAZID inputs and conclusion delivered on the 18.05.2012, DNV assessed that no
update is required as the concept design used as basis for the HAZID has not changed in the detail
engineering phase.

1 BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF WORK
A one day HAZID workshop was carried out in June 2011 for the design at that stage of LNG
bunkering station in Risavika, ref. /1/. As the design has changed considerably since then, an update of
the HAZID was carried out on February 16 2012.

The objective was to identify and assess potential hazards for the LNG bunkering station, with focus
on safety. Risks reducing measures were identified and assessed where possible.

Like the HAZID in 2011, this update focuses only on hazards associated with bunkering of LNG to
ferries on jetty 38. This includes equipment and operations both inside and outside the LNG Base Load
Plant, ref. Figure B - 1 and Figure B - 2, respectively.

For remaining hazards associated with the LNG Base Load Plant, reference is made to the QRA from
2009, ref. /2/.

The HAZID does not take into account the risks due to ship or truck LNG loading to the ferry.

2 METHODOLOGY
HAZID (Hazard Identification) is a systematic review of installations and/or operations in order to
screen potential hazards. The HAZID review on February 16 2012 was run in a workshop with
participants from Skangass, Fjordline and DNV. Each hazard was assigned a likelihood and
consequence category, so that each hazard could be ranked in accordance with a predefined risk
matrix, see Table B - 1. This risk matrix is the same as the one used in HAZID in June 2011.

Risk Definition:

High
Actions must be taken to reduce risk to at least the medium level


Medium
Risk reduction measures must be taken if their respective costs are not disproportionately high as compared to their


attained benefits (ALARP principal); actions need to be taken to manage and measure risk.


Low
Monitoring actions required to identify whether the risk rises to medium level

4 SUMMARY OF HAZARDS IDENTIFIED
The new design of Skangass bunkering system is considered an improvement in terms of safety, as it
mitigates or eliminates some of the hazards identified in the HAZID from June 2011: The likelihood of
a leak is reduced by introducing underground, double wall pipeline and by eliminating buffer tanks and
flare.
Since the HAZID in 2011, the number of hazards with criticality High is reduced to one:
1-4 Leaks from the loading arm during bunkering operations, caused by fabrication or material
defects; weld defects, leaking seals and swivels. Possible consequences are fires if ignition
sources on and around bunkering ferry (under ro-ro operation) are present; risks to ship
passengers.
The main changes include the lower criticality of the following hazards, due to reduction of likelihood
and/or consequence:
Criticality changed from Medium to Low:
o 1-1 Release of N2 and HC from vents on the ship (ship-side)
o 1-2 Inability of purging N2 from the loading arms
o 1-12 Damage to loading arms with possible release of LNG (New: No crane operations
during bunkering operations.)
o 3-1 Loss of LNG supply capacity
o 3-2 Damage to piping system inside the LNG plant
Criticality changed from High to Medium:
o 1-10 Loss of control during filling of ship (New: ESD has been provided; the system
will fail in a safe position.)
Other changes since the HAZID in 2011 do not move hazards from one criticality level to the next.
All changes are marked with text in red in the HAZID log in the next chapter.

procedure, the release is small, then
the consequences will be small as
well.

operations
Fabrication or material
defects; weld defects;
