The 100th cargo of liquefied natural gas from the PNG LNG Project, operated by ExxonMobil PNG has set sail, just over one year on from the start of export operations.
The LNG carrier 'Methane Spirit' will be transporting the cargo bound for Japan for Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), the same customer who received the first cargo in May 2014.
More than seven million tonnes of LNG has been exported since the project commenced production in April 2014.
The project is expected to produce more than nine trillion cubic feet of gas over the estimated 30 years of operations.
Built in 2008, the 'Methane Spirit' is 286 metres long, 43 metres wide and can carry approximately 163,000m3 of LNG.
