RasGas Company Limited’s first dedicated liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, the Fuwairit, set sail from Qatar to Spain on its 100th delivery voyage.

On arriving in Spain, the Fuwairit will have shipped a total of 13.6 million cu m of LNG over the years - enough LNG to power a city the size of New York for six months.

The conventional carrier delivered RasGas’ first ever cargo shipment to South Korea in January 2004 and has since travelled almost 1 million nautical miles delivering LNG cargoes from Ras Laffan to RasGas’ customers across the globe. Her voyages include trips to Japan, Spain, France, Mexico, India, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and Taiwan.

The Fuwairit, built by Samsung Heavy Industries, was delivered to RasGas on 13 January 2004. RasGas’ integrated shipping fleet consists of 27 long-term chartered LNG vessels.
