The cargo was loaded on November 21 at the Caribbean nation’s Point Fortin facility, according to shipping data.

   The “Arctic Princess” with 147,835 cubic metres capacity is due to deliver a cargo to the Dragon terminal on December 25 from the Hammerfest plant in northern Norway. The shipment was lifted on December 17 from the Norwegian facility. A second cargo is due for delivery to Milford Haven on December 25 at the South Hook terminal on board the “Traiano Knutsen” with 180,000 cubic metres capacity.

March 13 (LNGJ) - The UK was scheduled to receive an LNG cargo at the end of the week from the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago as UK and European natural gas wholesale and LNG prices rebounded to one-month highs as cooler weather hit Europe. The UK National Balancing Point price rose to the equivalent of $16.100 per million British thermal units.

   The vessel “Maran Gas Agamemnon” with 174,000 cubic metres capacity was due to discharge a cargo on March 19 at the Dragon LNG import terminal at the port of Milford Haven, according to shipping data. The cargo was lifted on March 7 from the Point Fortin export plant in Trinidad.

Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean nation that once sent most of the LNG cargoes imported into the US before the shale gas boom and still supplies one terminal, is widening its customer base while increasing sources of feed-gas for the Atlantic LNG liquefaction and export plant at Point Fortin on Trinidad.

March 6 (LNGJ) - McDermott International, the US energy engineering company currently merging with CB&I, was awarded a detailed engineering and procurement services contract from BP as part of the UK company's natural gas expansion in the LNG producing country of Trinidad & Tobago.
