No distress signal was issued before the explosion. The Armed Forces of Malta deployed an aircraft to observe the situation, though officials have not confirmed wh

Massive lng tanker loading at coastal terminal This LNG tanker is equipped with large Moss-type spherical containment tanks, specifically engineered to store liquefied natural gas at approximately -162°C. The dome-shaped tanks help evenly distribute internal pressure while maintaining structural integrity during long-distance ocean transport. LNG carriers like this are essential in international energy trade, connecting gas-producing regions with power plants and industrial hubs worldwide. #fbli
