Vietnam's second LNG terminal receives commissioning cargo from Russia
Vietnam's Cai Mep liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal has received its commissioning cargo from Russia, and marks the Southeast Asian country's first time receiving supply of the fuel from the LNG producer, according to an industry source and shiptracking data.
According to data from LSEG and Kpler, the cargo was loaded from Russia's Sakhalin 2 project on April 10, onto the Blue Dragon 1 LNG tanker.
The Blue Dragon 1 tanker arrived at the Cai Mep import terminal on May 25.
One industry source said that the terminal had received the cargo for the purpose of testing.
On track to be Vietnam's second operational LNG terminal, Cai Mep LNG is located in the southern Ba Ria Vung Tau province, and has the capacity to import 3 metric MMtpy of LNG.
It is operated by Cai Mep LNG, a joint venture between Singapore-based Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific LNG (AG&P LNG) and Vietnamese petroleum trader Hai Linh Company.
AG&P LNG said in August last year it was aiming to secure its commissioning cargo for the terminal to be delivered between October and November.
Vietnam's first terminal to begin operations, Thi Vai LNG, received its commissioning cargo from Indonesia. It has since also received LNG supplies from Qatar, Malaysia and Brunei.
