The Peninsula reported that RasGas Company Limited has delivered a spot cargo of liquefied natural gas to EgeGaz in Turkey. The fully loaded cargo was supplied on board RasGas' long term chartered Q-Flex vessel, Al Sahla to Aliaga Terminal in Turkey.

RasGas has been supplying LNG to EgeGaz for a long time and this was the 41st cargo sent to Turkey and the sixth this year. In 2011, it had sent 6 cargoes including the first Q-Flex cargo to Turkey.

Mr Khalid Sultan Al Kuwari RasGas' Marketing and Shipping Executive said that "We are happy to continue to build our relationship with an important market like Turkey. This is another example where we demonstrate our ability to deliver a secure and reliable supply of LNG across most consuming regions. Not only does it underline our continuing commercial relationship with EgeGaz but also signifies another step in realizing Qatar's vision of becoming the world's largest and most reliable supplier of LNG.”

Mr Al Kuwari said that "LNG is increasingly becoming the fuel of choice to meet rapidly expanding energy requirements all over the world based on its environmental benefits, flexibility, reliability and cost. We look forward to continuing to support Turkey's energy needs and will continue looking for opportunities in the future."
