First July cargo for South Hook LNG terminal

South Hook liquefied natural gas terminal in the United Kingdom is scheduled to receive a cargo from Qatar in July. 

One of the largest LNG carriers in the world, the 266,000 cbm Shagra, is scheduled to dock at the terminal’s jetty on July 1, the port authority’s data reveals.

The vessel was built by the South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries for Nakilat in 2009 and chartered to Qatargas.

The South Hook terminal located on the shores of the Milford Haven waterway is owned by Qatar Petroleum, ExxonMobil and Total.

The terminal can process 15.6 million tonnes of LNG a year and is capable of delivering 21 billion cubic metres of gas a year into the UK’s national transmission system.
