Vietnam’s Cai Mep LNG Terminal Receives First Cargo from Russia’s Sakhalin 2
(Reuters) — 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 told Reuters 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 million metric tons of LNG a year.
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.
Repeated calls to Hai Linh for a comment went unanswered. AG&P LNG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
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.
