27/04/2012 06:45 AST

RasGas has delivered its first Q-Flex liquefied natural gas cargo to South America by supplying LNG to Petrobras, Brazil at the Guanabara Bay Terminal. The fully loaded cargo was delivered on RasGas’ long-term chartered Q-Flex vessel- “Al Aamriya” (pictured). RasGas marketing and shipping executive, Khalid Sultan R al-Kuwari said, “The delivery of this cargo by one of our long-term chartered Q-Flex ships to Brazil is a great achievement for both RasGas and Qatar. It is a demonstration of our ability to deliver a secure and reliable supply of LNG across most consuming regions. We look forward to continuing to support Brazil and the rest of South America’s energy needs and will continue looking for opportunities in the future.” he added. The RasGas integrated shipping fleet consists of some 27 LNG vessels. They include 14 conventional size and some of the world’s largest state-of-the-art LNG vessels - 12 Q-Flex tankers (between 210,000m3 and 217,000m3) and one Q-Max vessel with an LNG carrying capacity of 266,000m3. “These huge vessels allow more LNG to be transported per journey and require less energy per unit of cargo. This results in lower transportation costs, improved energy efficiency and reduced emissions, ultimately enhancing RasGas’ flexibility to meet global demand,” a RasGas release said.
