April 28 (LNGJ) - Qatar is delivering the first two LNG cargoes to the UK in May. The 261,700 cubic metres capacity carrier “Lijmiliya” is scheduled to arrive in the UK from Ras Laffan on May 1 with a shipment for the South Hook facility in the Welsh port of Milford Haven, according to the port authorities. Another Qatari carrier, the 266,000 cubic metres capacity vessel, the “Al Dafna”, is due to berth at South Hook on May 5.
The latest shipments are scheduled as the UK National Balancing Point natural gas benchmark price and the main Continental European price, the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF), are both at seasonal highs. Both prices were quoted at the equivalent of $7.60 per million British thermal units.
