Ship manager Northern Marine had staff on both sides of the ship/shore interface to handle the recent inaugural cargo discharge at China’s first privately-owned LNG terminal, writes Selwyn Parker. When the Northern Marine-managed Stena Blue Sky delivered a commissioning cargo to ENN Energy’s new Xin’ao terminal at Zhoushan in Zhejiang province in August, it marked the opening of China’s first privately-owned LNG import terminal. The arrival of the 2006-built, 145,500 m3 LNG carrier and the inauguration of the terminal turned out to be quite an occasion, attracting media attention as well as the attendance of five tugs, one ship from the Chinese navy and two coastguard vessels. The ENN Zhoushan terminal is designed to receive up to 3M tonnes per annum of LNG. In addition to its import role it is also able to load LNG bunker vessels, LNG coastal distribution tankers and roro cargo ships carrying LNG road tankers and ISO tank containers dispatched from the facility’s vehicle-filling bays.
