In an industry first, Qatargas has successfully completed the largest ever multi-port delivery of a single cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) on its Q-Max vessel ‘Mekaines’.
The Q-Max vessel safely delivered the LNG at two terminals in Spain (Barcelona and Cartagena), Qatargas said in a statement on Monday.
The established practice in the LNG industry is to deliver a single cargo of LNG to a single location.
Qatargas’ pioneering achievement was made possible by using the largest class of LNG vessel in the world, a Q-Max vessel, which has a cargo carrying capacity of 266,000 m3. This allows a Q-Max to deliver two full conventional size cargoes on one vessel.
“This achievement is a testament to the company’s commitment to leading the LNG industry in terms of operational flexibility and supply chain efficiency,” Qatargas said in a statement on Monday.
Qatargas CEO Khalid bin Khalifa al Thani, said, “Qatargas continues to deliver innovative solutions which provide greater efficiency, flexibility and optimisation of resources. This multi-port delivery further demonstrates our commitment to maintaining our position as the world’s premier LNG company.”
Qatargas loaded the cargo at the Ras Laffan terminal on the Q-Max LNG vessel ‘Mekaines’ on May 12. The two cargo ‘parcels’ were delivered to the Barcelona and Cartagena LNG terminals in Spain on May 30 and June 1, respectively.
Advancements such as multi-port delivery on Q-Max vessels, coupled with a global reputation for safe and reliable operations, reinforce Qatargas’ position as the premier LNG supplier of choice in an ever-competitive and evolving market, the statement added.
