Feb 22 (LNGJ) - The UK is receiving three LNG cargoes this week at the Port of Milford Haven in Wales, two from the US and one from Qatar. The 165,000 cubic metres capacity carrier “Marib Spirit” will discharge its cargo on February 23 at the South Hook terminal from Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass plant in Louisiana, according to the port authorities.

   Another shipment from Sabine Pass is scheduled to be unloaded on February 25 at the Dragon regasification terminal at the Welsh port from the “Stena Clear Sky” carrier with 171,800 cubic metres capacity. The third shipment will arrive on February 27 at the South Hook terminal from Qatar onboard the largest carrier, the 266,000 cubic metres capacity Q-Max vessel “Mozah”. The UK deliveries are being received at lower seasonal prices as the UK National Balancing Point has declined in the last week to the equivalent of $5.90 per million British thermal units.

China took its liquefied natural gas terminal network to 19 as two more facilities were formally brought into service in August at Zhoushan in the eastern Zhejiang province and at Dapeng New District in the southern province of Guangdong.

The LNG carrier “Stena Crystal Sky”, which has recently transported shipments from the US Sabine Pas export plant in Louisiana, has been thanked by two American citizens and the US Coast Guard for rescuing the pair from their damaged vessel in heavy seas off the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
