Santos GLNG loads 25th LNG cargo

Santos GLNG has announced that it recently completed loading the 25^th cargo of LNG from its export terminal, which commenced production last year.

The milestone cargo was loaded onto the YK Sovereign LNG carrier, which is 274 m long and weighs 72 020 t. Santos GLNG confirmed that the South Korean flagged vessel is the first Moss-type LNG carrier to travel through the Port of Gladstone since the commencement of the LNG export industry in December 2014. 

In February 2016, Santos GLNG announced that 1 million t of LNG had been produced at the LNG export terminal since it commenced production.

The first shipment of LNG left the US$18.5 billion LNG project in October 2015. The first cargo was carried by the Malaysian-owned LNG ship Seri Bakti and was delivered to South Korea.
