May 6 (LNGJ) - Belgium and the Netherlands are receiving steady LNG flows from Qatar and the US. The 211,885 cubic metres capacity Q-Flex carrier “Al Khuwair” was discharging a cargo on May 6 at the Zeebrugge import terminal in Belgium, according to shipping data. The 174,100 cubic metres capacity carrier “LNGShips Manhattan” was scheduled to deliver a shipment on May 7 to the Dutch Gate import terminal in Rotterdam. The cargo was lifted on April 20 from the Sabine Pass export plant in Louisiana, operated by Cheniere Energy.

July 14 (LNGJ) - Most LNG cargoes were pointed at Asia, though several were heading for Europe. The 211,885 cubic metres capacity Q-Flex carrier “Al Khuwair” is scheduled to deliver a shipment on July 22 to the Zeebrugge import terminal in Belgium from Ras Laffan in Qatar.

   The 137,500 cubic metres capacity vessel “LNG Rivers” was expected to discharge a cargo on July 25 at the Montoir-de-Bretagne terminal in Western France from the Bonny Island plant in Nigeria. The shipments were due as the Dutch Title Transfer (TTF)) natural gas price, the benchmark for Continental Europe, was at a seasonally elevated equivalent of $12.25 per million British thermal units.

July 28 (LNGJ) - The 217,000 cubic metres capacity Q-Flex carrier “Al Khuwair” will deliver a shipment on August 3 to the UK Milford Haven import terminal in Wales from the Ras Laffan plant in Qatar, according to shipping data. The delivery was fixed as the UK National Balancing Point benchmark natural gas price was at the equivalent of $5.00 per million British thermal units, while one of the main continental European prices, the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF), was higher at around $5.15 per MMBtu.
