Petronet LNG’s second Terminal receives LNG Cargo at Kochi

Petronet LNG's second LNG Terminal, located at Kochi in the state of Kerala has received its first LNG Cargo. This commissioning cargo has come from RasGas, Qatar, a reliable supplier and world leader in LNG which supplies 7.5 mmt per year of LNG to Petronet at its Dahej Terminal. Being a commissioning cargo, the vessel would be berthed at PLL's jetty till the whole terminal including storage tanks are cooled down to cryogenic temperatures. This one-time operation is a slow and meticulous process and would take six to seven days to complete.

Commercial supplies from the terminal may start in a week's time. FACT and BPCL refineries will be among the first consumers of R-LNG from PLL's Kochi terminal.

Petronet LNG is one of the leading players in oil and natural gas industry space. It has India’s first and largest LNG supply terminal located at Dahej.
