LNG

Feb 9 (LNGJ) – The LNG carrier, “Rioja Knutsen”, with 176,300 cubic metres of capacity, will deliver the European Union’s next cargo with the vessel scheduled to berth later on February 9 at the Dutch Gate import terminal in Rotterdam, according to shipping data. The cargo was lifted on January 27 from the Corpus Christi export plant in Texas.

   That’s as the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, which will issue daily EU LNG price assessments from the end of March, published its latest February LNG cargo test assessment. The EU agency put the delivered-ex-ship (DES) spot cargo price for Northwest Europe at €53.85 per megawatt hour (MWh), the equivalent to about $16.930 per million British thermal units.
