India has received its biggest shipment of liquefied natural gas (lNG) by ship as it looks to diversify supplies and economise parcel size to meet growing energy demand.
A Q-Max lNG vessel, the largest lNG carrier in its class, with a capacity of about 261,000 cubic meters, was received at Petronet lNG ltd's Dahej import terminal in Gujarat on Tuesday.The receipt of the ship, carrying cargo from Ras-laffan, Qatar, has set another benchmark, the company said in a statement here.last year, Petronet had successfully unloaded 1,000th cargo at Dahej in a short span of about 9 years."We are glad to receive first Q-Max lNG vessel, one of the biggest size lNG ships available at Dahej Terminal and expect to receive more such cargoes in future," Petronet Managing Director & CEO Ashok Kumar Balyan said.
