While the feud over the safety of the LNG Power Station continues, the Government has rejected Opposition concerns by ‘reassuring the public that the tender for the new dual-fired power station was only awarded after it was established that Liquefied Natural Gas could be safely delivered and stored in Gibraltar.’
The Gibraltar History Society has expressed concern over the Government’s refurbishment of the Northern Defences. They claim that the plan ‘completely ignores their heritage value’, and is not based on informed advice on the cultural value of the area, as a preserved system of fortifications and their significance in Gibraltar’s history.
Hosting the International Bunker Industry Association, the Government and the Gibraltar Port Authority will attract an international audience, who will be addressed by speakers from world leaders in the field, including Peninsular Petroleum, World Fuel Services, Intertanko, Vopak, Vemaoil and Aegean.
