The 260,000-cbm vessel is scheduled to arrive at Petronet’s Dahej terminal in Gujarat, where a new jetty has been constructed as part of an expansion project.

The cargo is being sold to Indian Oil Corp.

Qatar, which owns the 14-ship Q-max fleet, has been gradually extending the trading range of these vessels. Last month, Dubai became the most recent destination to be added to the fleet’s schedule when the 263,000-cbm Lijmiliya (built 2009) called at Dubai Supply Authority (Dusup)’s floating LNG import terminal.
