Elengy ticks off milestones at Montoir-de-Bretagne

French LNG operator Elengy, a unit of the energy giant Engie, said its Montoir-de-Bretagne terminal reached a number of milestones during the month of August. 

The facility saw 13 LNG carriers dock during the month, four of which unloaded cargoes, with further three reloadings and three LNG transshipments, which according to Elengy is a record feat for a European facility.

The three transshipments have all been completed during a seven-day period, which was another first for a European terminal, the company said.

Elengy further noted that it has now completed 10 LNG transshipments since the beginning of the year.

Elengy has a long-term transshipment services deal with the Yamal LNG project operator, Novatek. The Montoir-de-Bretagne terminal has been adapted in order to provide the service during the period of the contract.

Speaking of the terminal activity in the coming months, Elengy said it expects the trend will continue.
