Initiatives unveiled at LNG shipping safety seminar in Qingdao

A seminar on the safety of liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping took place in Qingdao on April 2, co-hosted by the Shandong Maritime Safety Administration, the Qingdao Area of the China (Shandong) Pilot Free Trade Zone (Qingdao FTZ), and the China Shipowners' Association.

The seminar aimed to facilitate discussions on various aspects of the LNG industry, including management, inspection, ship safety, crew training, and team development.
