Thailand’s state-owned PTT Pcl (PTT), Southeast Asia’s first importer of liquefied natural gas, is set to get a spot cargo from Yemen at the Map Ta Phut terminal.
The GDF Suez (GSZ) Point Fortin, with a capacity of 154,982 cubic metres, is scheduled to arrive at the terminal on Wednesday, according to a PTT official who asked not to be identified because he is not authorised to speak to the media. The tanker sailed from Yemen LNG’s Balhaf terminal, where it arrived April 20 to load the supercooled gas, according to ship transmissions captured by IHS Fairplay on Bloomberg.
Nobody answered two calls to Yemen LNG’s main switchboard in the capital city of Sana’a.
PTT owns and operates Map Ta Phut terminal, which has a capacity of five million metric tonnes a year in Rayong. The company began operating the terminal in the third quarter of 2011 and signed its first long-term contract with Qatargas in December 2012 for two million tonnes of LNG annually for 20 years starting in 2015, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
PTT needs to buy as much as two million tonnes of spot LNG this year to meet power-industry demand, the company official said on April 12.
South and Southeast Asia’s total LNG import capacity will increase to 94.5 million tonnes a year in 2020 from 38.1 million tonnes a year in 2013, Anton Safronov, Total SA’s (FP) LNG origination director, said May 9 in Singapore.
