Mumbai: Royal Dutch Shell will receive its second liquefied natural gas cargo at its import terminal in India this month, according to transmissions from ships captured by AISLive on Bloomberg.
Salalah LNG, a 148,174 cubic-metre tanker, may have reached Hazira terminal on India's west coast on October 1, carrying a cargo from Qalhat LNG project in Oman, the ship-tracking data showed.
Shell is a partner in the 3.3 million metric-tonne-a-year LNG line through its share in Oman LNG.
Indian power producers are turning to imported gas because of lower domestic output and record crude prices. Industries pay as much as $20 (Dh73.4) per million British thermal units of LNG.
Qalhat sells 70-80 per cent of its LNG output to Japan, China, India, South Korea and Taiwan, an official said.
