On October 13, 2024, a dramatic fire erupted involving two liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers off the coast of Bangladesh during a cargo transshipment operation.
The incident occurred when the 78,500-cbm Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) Captain Nikolas, built in 1992, and the 6,500-cbm fully pressurized gas carrier B-LPG Sophia, built in 1997, were separating after completing a lightering operation. Reports indicate that the flames ignited during the disconnection process.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries due to the quick intervention of the Bangladesh Navy and Coast Guard, who responded swiftly to contain the situation. The estimated damage from this incident is around $500,000, raising concerns about the safety standards of vessels involved in transporting sanctioned oil and gas.
