Does anyone know if a final investigation report has been published on the LNG explosion at Skikda, Algeria, 2004?

The Report concludes that the explosion was the consequence of a catastrophic failure in one of the cold boxes of Unit 40, which led to a vapour cloud explosion of either LNG or refrigerant. The most probable source of ignition was the boiler at the north end of Unit 40.

Thanks, Paul.

Can you point me in the direction of this report? Is it an official investigation report?
