Pipeline example
∗
25 December 1988 the Fulmar FSU
(Floating Storage Unit) broke loose from
its moorings.
∗
Approximately 1,300 tons of oil were
spilled following the incident.

Transfer line had pressure detection with
low pressure trip – this did not trip the
product transfer.

How effective was the low pressure leak
detection ??
