The cargo to France’s fourth LNG import terminal was delivered on Sunday onboard Teekay’s 165.500-cbm Meridian Spirit LNG tanker, Dunkerque LNG said in a brief social media statement.
Dunkirk LNG terminal started commercial operations on January 1 this year and has since then received five cargoes, including the latest one.
The terminal has a regasification capacity of 13 billion cubic meters per year. It is owned and operated by Dunkerque LNG, a company 65 percent owned by France’s EDF, 25 percent by Belgium’s Fluxys and 10 percent by French Total.
