LNG

April 12 (LNGJ) - Three LNG cargoes from Qatar will be delivered to the UK for a second straight week. The 210,100 cubic metres capacity Q-Flex carrier “Onaiza” is scheduled berth on April 16 at the UK South Hook import terminal at Milford Haven in Wales on arrival from Ras Laffan in Qatar, according to the port authorities. The 216,000 cubic metres capacity vessel “Al Ghashamiya” will then discharge a cargo on April 18 at the terminal, followed by the arrival on April 19 of the 210,100 cubic metres capacity carrier “Murwab” to unload at South Hook.

   The latest shipments are scheduled as the UK National Balancing Point natural gas benchmark price is at the equivalent of $6.45 per million British thermal units, while the main Continental European price, the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF), is higher at the equivalent of $6.60 per MMBtu.

Qatar Petroleum has spoken up for the producer side at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo while also encouraging importers and nations currently without LNG to take advantage of the fuel that is now a crucial part of the global environmental clean-up.
