APLNG ships cargo to South Korea

The ConocoPhilips-operated Australia Pacific LNG project has on Monday shipped a cargo of liquefied natural gas from the Curtis Island facility to South Korea.

The 155,300 cbm LNG Jurojin, which is co-owned by MOL and Kansai Electric Power, is expected to dock at Kogas’ Pyeongtaek LNG terminal around February 14, shipping data shows.

The APLNG project shipped in January its inaugural cargo onboard the Methane Spirit LNG carrier.

China’s Sinopec has a 7.6 mtpa long-term contract with APLNG while Japan’s Kansai Electric has booked 1 mtpa of LNG from the facility on a 20-year deal.

The full production capacity of 9 million tons per year from the APLNG facility is expected to be reached this year.
