A first LNG ship-to-ship (STS) ­operation has been completed in Myanmar after the arrival of a third gas carrier to the new project.

The 19,474-cbm Surya Aki (built 1996) discharged a cargo to the 28,000-cbm newbuilding CNTIC VPower Global, which arrived on site off the Thanlyin LNG power facility last month loaded with a Petronas cargo.
