An ISO container, partly filled with Monoethylene Glycol (MEG), imploded on the back deck of a ship, spilling around two cubic meters (528 gallons) of MEG onto the deck and to sea and causing unrepairable damage to the tank itself. There were no injuries. The tank was a 26-cubic-meter tank containing ten cubic meters (6600 gallons) of MEG.
The implosion happened due to a vacuum created inside the tank when the MEG was pumped out into a storage reservoir on the vessel during mobilization.
