GM&T performs first STS LNG transfer

Gazprom Marketing & Trading said it has completed the company’s first ship-to-ship transfer of LNG cargo at sea.

The transfer operation was between two GM&T-chartered LNG ships, delivering vessel Pskov and receiving vessel Yenisei River. The cargo has been loaded on board Pskov in Spain after which an STS operation with Yenisei River was chosen for optimising the company’s commercial and shipping portfolio, GM&T said in a statement.
