Another Liquefied Natural Gas Facility Breached
2006-12-31
MODS - I'm looking at the source doc, the PDF, and the Boston Butt Probe story... I do not see the second LNG breach. In other words, I think this is a 6 month old story that caused DOT to update procedures - and send out a bulletin regards lessons learned. If no one else sees the second breach, then delete, I guess. i.e. It's not news - unless the warning to LNG operators is "the news".
December 28, 2006 Investigation revealed that the intruders had cut through the outer and inner perimeter fences and through the locked gate and gained access to the storage tank several days before the breach was discovered. A microwave intrusion system documented the intrusions on the computer monitoring system, which should have alerted operator personnel to the intrusions.

Operator personnel did not respond.

In the days following, personnel conducted several routine visual inspections of the area without noting the cuts in the fences. Although there was also video surveillance of the perimeter, personnel did not review the tape until they investigated the breach.

State authorities responded quickly to examine security at other LNG facilities in the state. These authorities inspected operator practices and procedures to ensure personnel and systems respond correctly during a security breach.

#2  So two guys climbed a fence and got up on top of a tank to admire the view? Why did the Globe think it was news? Or were they criticiing the operator?

Yeah, that's it. The bad, bad utiloity should've caught those guys five feet inside the fence and escorted them off the property.

#1  .com, dittos on the article, it dawned on me after I posted it, most likely it's the after action paper work generated from the New England LNG breach.

and thanks also btw for all the good work, essays and comments you've contributed. And I appreciate the article editing too as it makes our work product better and that means it makes Rantburg better. Goes without saying that extends to all the mods and regulars who expect high standards here at Rantburg.

Thats my resolution for 2007, raise the bar and a little less horseplay.
