LNG bunker supplier Gas Natural Fenosa has received its first LNG cargo from Yamal LNG - a natural gas liquefaction plant located in the Yamal Peninsula - in accordance with the long-term offtake agreement.

The 170,000-cubic-metre Arc7 ice-class LNG carrier Fedor Litke unloaded the first cargo at the Spanish port of Mugardos in accordance with the lifting and delivery schedule.

Annual sales volumes, according to the 24-year long-term offtake contract, are 2.5 million tonnes of LNG, which is equal to more than 3 billion cubic metres of natural gas.

Fenosa is a leading player in Spain's LNG bunker market. Amongst its recent achievements in 2018, the company performed Valencia's first LNG bunker delivery; launched the world's first universal floating LNG transfer system; bunkered Furetank's newbuild chemical tanker, the Fure Vinga, in Europe for the first time; and signed Spain's first multi-year LNG bunker supply deal with Balearia.
