Norwegian LNG on Way to U.S.

The latest LNG cargo to be loaded at Norway’s Hammerfest terminal has been dispatched to United States, according to shipping data.

The 165,500 m3 Maersk Meridian departed Hammerfest yesterday, and is expected to arrive at U.S. Sabinne Pass terminal on February 17.

Statoil said on January 20 that it has resumed production at the Hammerfest LNG plant following a temporary shutdown due to rupture of a firewater line.

The Hammerfest terminal has a capacity to produce 4.3 million mt/year of LNG.
