May 4 (LNGJ) - The 171,800 cubic metres capacity carrier “Tessala” berthed on May 4 at the UK Isle of Grain LNG import terminal in Kent with a cargo from the Arzew export plant operated by Sonatrach on the Mediterranean coast of Algeria.

   The delivery to the National Grid-operated terminal came as the differential widened to more than $10 per million British thermal units between the lower UK benchmark National Balancing Point natural gas price of $19.55 per million British thermal units and the continental European Dutch Title Transfer Facility benchmark price.

June 7 (LNGJ) - The Russian LNG carrier “Georgiy Ushakov”, with 172,000 cubic metres of capacity, is scheduled to arrive with a cargo on June 8 at the UK Isle of Grain LNG terminal on the Medway-Thames estuary southeast of London from the Yamal plant in northern Siberia. A second carrier, the 171,800 cubic metres capacity “Tessala”, is due at Grain LNG on the same day from the Algerian export plant at Arzew on the Mediterranean coast.

April 13 (LNG) - The 171,800 cubic metres capacity liquefied natural gas carrier, the “Tessala”, is scheduled to deliver a cargo on April 15 to the UK Isle of Grain LNG import terminal, operated by National Grid Plc on the Medway-Thames estuary, southeast of London. Shipping data showed that the “Tessala” left the Algerian export plant at Arzew on April 10 for the four-day voyage from the Mediterranean to England.

   The UK National Balancing Point natural gas benchmark price has been rising in recent days because of colder weather and was last at the equivalent of $6.75 per million British thermal units, while the main Continental European price, the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF), was higher at the equivalent of $6.85 per MMBtu.
