Baku, January 13, AZERTAC

Malta’s first LNG cargo, supplied by Azerbaijan's state SOCAR, was delivered January 11 aboard the tanker Galea.

ElectroGas Malta - which developed the new floating LNG import and storage terminal (FSU) at Marsaxlokk in southeast Malta and a nearby 200 MW gas-fired power plant at Delimara - told NGW that the maiden 14,000m3-plus LNG cargo was supplied by SOCAR.

The cargo size delivered is small, compared to the size of Galea's 136,967 m3 hold, and is expected to be used for commissioning the new facilities.

“After the berthing of the Galea alongside the FSU, gassing-up commenced and is expected to continue until later this evening, January 12, when we can start to cool down the first FSU tank,” added ElectroGas.

ElectroGas Malta is a three-way consortium of Germany's Siemens, SOCAR Trading and privately-owned Maltese joint venture GEM Holdings. Its new 200 MW gas-fired combined cycle (CCGT) plant will double the Delimara power plant’s generation capacity.

The FSU floating import terminal, Armada LNG Mediterrana, arrived in Malta three months ago on October 10 2016.

ElectroGas added: "The ship to ship transfer for this first cool-down cargo is anticipated to take around four to five days, whereupon Galea shall depart and the rest of the cryogenic equipment onboard the FSU and onshore in the regasification plant shall be cooled down to operational temperatures."
