Elengy’s Fos Cavaou LNG import terminal in August received the Al Mafyar Q-Max tanker — the very first of its kind in France.
The vessel belongs to the Q-max class: the largest existing tankers for transporting Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), with a total fleet of 14 worldwide.
This giant of the seas is 345 metres long and 54 metres wide, and can carry up to 266,000 cubic metres of LNG — equivalent to the usage of a city such as Lyon (530,000 inhabitants) in a year.
