Portugal books Nigerian LNG cargo

REN-operated Sines LNG import terminal in Portugal is to receive a new cargo of the chilled fuel from Nigeria.

The cargo will be delivered from Nigeria LNG’s Bonny Island liquefaction plant onboard liquefied natural gas carrier LNG Benue capable of transporting 145,914 cubic meters of the chilled fuel.

The vessel was built by the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in 2006.

Shipping data from the port of Sines shows that the LNG carrier is scheduled to dock at the terminal on August 26.

NLNG’s Bonny Island facility has the capacity to produce 22 mtpa of liquefied natural gas from its six trains.

Sines LNG terminal, located on Portugal’s Atlantic coast, has a nominal send out capacity of 600,000 cubic meters per hour (5.26 bcm per year), with a peak capacity of 900,000 cubic meters per hour.
