Qatar dispatches LNG cargo to Dubai

Qatar, the world’s largest LNG exporter, dispatched a cargo of the chilled gas from Ras Laffan port to Dubai on Monday.

The Al Khuwair LNG tanker, with a capacity of 217,000 cubic metres, is expected to arrive at the Jebel Ali LNG import terminal on October 15, according to shipping data.

In 2010, Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP) completed the construction of the LNG terminal in Jebel Ali port which allows the import of LNG via a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).

LNG tankers berth alongside the Explorer FSRU, which regasifies the LNG using seawater through a heat exchanger, and then flows the gas into the onshore pipeline network.
