June 22 (LNGJ) - The 164,000 cubic metres capacity carrier, the “Maran Gas Posidonia”, is scheduled to discharge a US LNG cargo on June 26 at the UK South Hook importer terminal at Milford Haven, according to shipping data. The cargo was lifted on June 9 from Sempra’s Cameron LNG plant in Louisiana.

   The shipment was headed for the UK as the National Balancing Point market price for natural gas was at the equivalent of $25.30 per million British thermal units, about $13.00 per MMBtu less than the European Union benchmark Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF) price.

Dec 30 (LNGJ) - The UK is receiving at least three LNG cargoes from the Americas at the Port of Milford Haven during the first week in January, one each from the US states of Texas and Louisiana and one from Peru, according to port authorities. The 174,000 cubic metres capacity carrier “Aristidis I” is scheduled to discharge a shipment on January 4 at the South Hook facility from Freeport LNG in Texas.

   A second US cargo is being delivered to South Hook on January 6 on board the 164,000 cubic metres capacity “Maran Gas Posidonia” from the Cameron plant near Lake Charles in Louisiana. The third expected arrival next week is the January 6 berthing of the 173,400 cubic metres capacity vessel “Magdala” at Milford Haven’s Dragon terminal carrying a shipment from the Pampa Melchorita plant on the Pacific Coast of Peru.

The US Department of Energy has just published its latest liquefied natural gas monthly export data showing rising prices for the six plants and with China being the top monthly destination, while India overtook the UK into sixth place for overall total shipments received.
