DOHA, Qatar – RasGas Company Limited has delivered its first LNG cargo to the Dunkerque LNG Regasification Terminal, France, under the Sales and Purchase Agreement signed between Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company and EDF in June, 2016.
The cargo, aboard RasGas’ LNG Tanker Murwab, was delivered to the EDF Group on Jan. 23, following the successful commencement of commercial operations of the Dunkerque LNG Regasification Terminal on Jan. 1.
“RasGas is proud to commence delivery with this first LNG cargo under our SPA with EDF,” said Hamad Mubarak Al Muhannadi, RasGas’ Chief Executive Officer. “This is another milestone for RasGas and the EDF Group, as well as for the relationship between Qatar and France for the safe, reliable and clean supply of LNG for France and Europe.”
