The Q-Max vessel makes the LNG delivery.

Qatargas makes first Q-Max LNG delivery to Dubai

DOHA, October 29, 2014

Qatargas Operating Company Limited (Qatargas) has delivered LNG on-board a Q-Max vessel for the first time to the Dubai Supply Authority (Dusup) LNG Terminal located at the Jebel Ali Port.  

The Q-Max LNG Vessel Lijmiliya has a capacity of 263,000 cu m and is one of the largest LNG vessels in the world.  

The Lijmiliya under charter to Qatargas is owned by Qatar Gas Transport Company (Nakilat) and operated by Shell International Trading and Shipping Company (Stasco).

The Lijmiliya was partially loaded with 150,000 cu m of LNG in the Port of Ras Laffan and arrived on the morning of October 27 alongside Dusup’s 125,000 cu m Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) Golar Freeze, which is moored at a jetty in the Jebel Ali Port for unloading its cargo.  This being the first occasion for Q-Max vessel to call at Jebel Ali, the Lijmiliya was berthed in daylight hours and will take approximately two days to unload her cargo.
 
The delivery is part of an agreement signed in 2008 between Qatargas 4 and Shell International LNG Supply for the supply of LNG to Dusup in Dubai.  The first Q-Flex cargo from Qatargas was delivered to Dusup in November 2010.

Qatargas currently utilizes a fleet of 19 Q-Flex and 13 Q-Max vessels in addition to 12 conventional LNG vessels, giving it the flexibility to deliver LNG safely and reliably to markets across the world. – TradeArabia News Service
