July 14 (LNGJ) - Qatar is keeping up a steady stream of LNG shipments to the UK. The 261,160 cubic metres capacity Qatari Q-Max vessel “Al Mayeda” is scheduled to discharge a cargo on July 21 at the South Hook terminal at Milford Haven in Wales, according to the port authorities. The shipment was heading for the UK as the benchmark National Balancing Point gas market prices were around $32.10 per million British thermal units while spot gas prices in the European Union were more than $20 per MMBtu higher.

June 2 (LNG) - The 261,150 cubic metres capacity Q-Max carrier “Al Mayeda” is scheduled to discharge a cargo on June 9 at the South Hook LNG import terminal in the port of Milford Haven. The shipment will arrive as UK National Balancing Point natural gas prices stay at around seasonal record levels of the equivalent of just over $20 per million British thermal units. The Qatari vessel lifted the cargo on May 22 from the Ras Laffan export complex in the Arabian Gulf.

May 15 (LNGJ) - Qatar Gas Transport Co. said it started the second phase of its fleet management transition from Shell Shipping and Maritime to its own management.

Shell and QCTC completed the first phase of the management changes in 2017 involving 10 vessels. After completion of the second phase by the end of 2020, QGTC’s managed fleet will rise to 25 vessels out of which four are liquefied petroleum gas carriers.
