RasGas delivers 500th LNG shipment to Edison

RasGas has delivered its 500th liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo to its long term customer, Edison.  

RasGas’ LNG tanker, Al Areesh, delivered the cargo on 1st July, 2017 at the Adriatic LNG Terminal located in the northern Adriatic Sea, about 15 kilometres off the Veneto coastline in Italy.

The relationship between the two organizations goes back to 2003, when an agreement was signed between Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company and Edison for deliveries of 4.6 million tonnes (6.4 billion standard cubic metres) of LNG per year.
