The 138,700 cbm Raahi LNG carrier docked at Petronet’s Dahej import terminal on India’s west coast on Monday.
The LNG carrier is currently unloading a Qatari-sourced cargo of the chilled gas at the terminal in Gujarat, according to shipping data.
Petronet LNG is working on expanding Dahej’s capacity from 10 mtpa to 15 mtpa. Expansion works at the terminal are expected to be complete by November, 2016.
India’s largest LNG importer has also earlier this year approved a further expansion of Dahej terminal’s capacity to 17.5 million tonnes per annum.
