India: Dahej to Receive LNG Cargo

The Dahej import terminal, operated by India’s largest liquefied natural gas importer Petronet LNG, will recieve a cargo of LNG onboard the 216,203 cbm Al Utouriya from Qatar on Thursday, shipping data shows.

Toyo Engineering of Japan has recently secured a contract from Petronet to boost the LNG receiving capacity of the Dahej terminal from 10 million tons to 15 million tons per annum.

To meet the growing demand of natural gas for electricity and fertilizer, more than 10 additional LNG import terminals are now planned to be built in India.
