An LNG carrier controlled by Shell is heading to Dominion Energy’s new Cove Point LNG terminal.

Global LNG flow forecaster iGIS/LNG flagged up the voyage of the 136,985-cbm Gemmata (built 2004), which is on course for the new facility to the south of Baltimore, Maryland.

Consultants said that the vessel is due to arrive on 18 February and may wait at or near the facility until it starts to produce its first export volumes.
