Aug 31 (LNGJ) - While most LNG cargoes were still pointed at Asia, several were heading for Europe with the 164,700 cubic metres capacity carrier “LNG Fukurokuju” currently unloading a US shipment at the Greek import terminal at Revithoussa from the Cove Point plant in Maryland, according to shipping data. Another cargo was scheduled to arrive on September 3 at the French Atlantic Coast import terminal at Montoir-de-Bretagne from the Nigerian plant at Bonny Island on the 148,450 cubic metres capacity vessel “LNG IMO”.
The shipments were arriving as the Dutch Title Transfer (TTF)) natural gas price, the benchmark for Continental Europe, was at a seasonally high equivalent of $17.15 per million British thermal units. The other European benchmark, the UK National Balancing Point, was slighly lower at the equivalent of $16.85 per MMBtu.
