LNG transfer taking place in the Flow this weekend between the "Excelerate" and "Excalibur" this weekend 14-03-10.
Only the 2nd time this has been done inshore in the world,the first time it was done was also in the Flow a couple of years ago.

Why does no one appear to be questioning why it's the only place in the world this has been done inshore?

2 experimental submarines in the 50's ran on HTP (high test peroxide). Their names were HMS Explorer and HMS Excalibur. Due to their volatility they were called in the Navy HMS Exploder and HMS Excruciator. I hope there is no similarity here.
