Elengy’s Montoir-de-Bretagne terminal in western France has transshipped the first LNG cargo under its landmark long-term contract with Novatek, and plans to grow this type of business.

On Tuesday, Sovcomflot (SCF Group)’s ice-breaking, 172,600-cbm LNG carrier Christophe de Margerie (built 2017) was berthed alongside in brilliant sunshine, with the Engie-chartered, 149,800-cbm Grace Cosmos (built 2008) a short distance away off its stern.
