South Hook LNG Terminal has received the first commercial cargo from RasGas. The LNG cargo was purchased by South Hook Gas. The Milaha Ras Laffan has berthed and is discharging 2,950,000 MMBtu of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for supply to the UK natural gas market.
Fahad Al-Subaiey, South Hook Gas Chairman said, “South Hook Gas now supplies more gas into the UK than any other LNG shipper and this agreement with RasGas gives us the opportunity to receive additional cargoes in future, helping to improve supply diversity.”
“This agreement marks the latest addition to RasGas’ growing portfolio in the European market. As Europe continues to work towards meeting CO2 emissions targets whilst meeting energy needs, we are seeing more interest in LNG as a clean fuel,” said Khalid Sultan R Al-Kuwari, Marketing and Shipping Executive at RasGas.
South Hook Gas has supplied gas every day into the UK market since commencing operations in 2010, helping to improve security of supply.
