From the result in Table 3.1, it shows that the<br />

mean value have ‘Relevant’ status. The differ‐<br />

ence between mean and variance is ± 0.3869<br />

which is 9.51%. The result is way above the alpha<br />

value (5%) is mainly due <strong>to</strong> Q3 <strong>to</strong> Q6. These<br />

questions are about ‘Manning’ issue. It is under‐<br />

standable because t<strong>here</strong> are 84.21% not directly<br />

involved on the operation. They may not truly<br />

understand the basic requirement of LNG crew<br />

task. From the highest mean of question 10, it<br />

shows the majority of the respondents agreed<br />

on the coastal LNG operation demands for detail<br />

Closing Remarks<br />

The legal framework on the LNG car‐<br />

riage within coastal water is the extended ver‐<br />

sion of the current legal guide. As it is a new<br />

revolution that LNG carriage will inevitable<br />

come <strong>to</strong> the coastal zones, t<strong>here</strong> is no literature<br />

of what have been done previously. This is high‐<br />

lighting the new miles<strong>to</strong>ne of the legal develop‐<br />

ment. Hence, this study was conducted <strong>to</strong> iden‐<br />

tify the legal framework component as <strong>to</strong> en‐<br />

sure safe and secure coastal water operation.<br />

This study shows that legal framework is re‐<br />

quired in term of carrier aspect as identified at<br />

Figure 8.1. However, from this study we also<br />

know that the most important fac<strong>to</strong>r is safe<br />

handling. The legal framework is expected <strong>to</strong><br />

reduce the implication and impact <strong>to</strong> the sur‐<br />

rounding in the event of mishandling or any<br />

mishaps.<br />
