UK books another Qatari LNG shipment

The 263,000 cbm Q-Max LNG carrier Al Samriya is scheduled to dock at the UK’s South Hook terminal in Milford Haven on September 18.

This will be the fifth delivery of liquefied natural gas from Qatar’s Ras Laffan to South Hook in September.

Al Samriya passed trough the Suez Canal on Wednesday and is currently sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, according to shipping data.

The South Hook terminal, owned by Qatar Petroleum, Exxon Mobil and Total can process 15.6 million tonnes of LNG a year and is capable of delivering 21 billion cubic metres of gas a year into the UK’s national transmission system.
