Qatargas on Saturday announced the “safe delivery of the largest single cargo“ of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the Marmara LNG Terminal in Turkey. 

The super-chilled LNG was delivered on board the Q-Flex vessel ‘Al Sheehaniya’. which entered record books as the first ever Q-Flex vessel to call at the recently expanded Marmara LNG Terminal. Qatargas chief executive officer Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa al-Thani said. “The recent expansion of Marmara LNG Terminal allows Qatargas to send the world’s largest LNG vessels to yet another LNG terminal in Turkey. With 14 LNG trains and a total annual production capacity of 77mn tonnes. Qatargas is ideally positioned to meet increasing customer demand for reliable LNG. and capture the economies of scale afforded by Q-Flex and Q-Max LNG vessels.“ The Marmara LNG terminal is owned by BOTAS. the Turkish state-owned integrated gas company. The terminal was originally designed to accommodate conventional size vessels. and recently went through upgrades to accommodate both Q-Flex and Q-Max vessels.  Al Sheehaniya is a Q-Flex class LNG vessel with an overall cargo carrying capacity of 210.000 m3. Al Sheehaniya loaded a cargo of nearly 207.000 m3 of LNG at the Ras Laffan terminal in Qatar on May 30 before heading to the Marmara LNG Terminal in Turkey.
