Qatar Petroleum delivers 500th LNG cargo to the UK’s South Hook Terminal

DOHA, Qatar -- Qatar Petroleum (QP) has announced the delivery of the 500th LNG cargo from QP affiliate Qatar Liquefied Gas Company to the South Hook LNG Terminal at Milford Haven, UK. The landmark delivery, on March 24, was made on board the Q-Flex LNG vessel Al-Hamla.

Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, president and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, described the delivery as “another significant achievement for Qatar’s LNG industry.”

While most of Qatari LNG destined for the UK is delivered to the South Hook LNG Terminal, QP’s affiliates Qatargas and RasGas also deliver LNG shipments to other receiving terminals in the UK. The arrival of this 500th shipment to South Hook raises the all-time total number of Qatari LNG cargoes imported into the United Kingdom to more than 600.

South Hook LNG Terminal is a joint venture between affiliates of QP, Exxon Mobil and Total. It is part of the Qatargas 2 value chain, which is a fully integrated LNG shipping project from the Ras Laffan Industrial City in the State of Qatar to international markets, including the UK, which is one of Europe’s largest LNG importers.
