Grain LNG unloads 500th ship
Grain LNG welcomed the LNG Merak, the
500th ship to the importation terminal on the 12th March.
Simon Culkin, importation terminal manager, at National Grid Grain LNG said: “We’re delighted to confirm that on Thursday 12 March, 2020, we welcomed the 500th
ship at our liquefied natural gas (LNG) importation terminal on the Isle of Grain. The ‘LNG Merak’ berthed today delivering cargo from Zeebrugge, and is the 22nd ship to arrive at Grain this year.
“Since commissioning our terminal in 2005, we have taken delivery of LNG from 13 countries, further strengthening the diversity and security of UK gas supplies.
“LNG imports into the UK increased by approx. 64% in 2019 versus 2018, contributing to a decrease in the wholelsale (NBP) gas price of approx. 55%.
“LNG delivers much needed flexibility and energy reliability, enabling the integration of intermittent renewable energy and provides access to affordable energy. We’re very
proud that LNG, supported by our extensive infrastructure at Grain, will play a key role in enabling the UK to reach net zero carbon by 2050 by reducing carbon intensity across all segments of the energy system.”

At Titan LNG, the safety and health of our employees, partners, and clients are our main
priority. Titan LNG thus supports the need to continue business operations amid ongoing epidemic outbreak prevention and control measures to ensure the return to a normal work rhythm as well as a healthy global economy as soon as possible.
Consequently, Titan LNG monitors and manages the COVID-19 situation based
on plans and guidance related to pandemic preparedness, with the following guiding principles: Consult and connect – close (daily) contact with stakeholders, key subcontractors and customers to evaluate the situation and align protocols where needed; implementation – all measures based on the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and Environment; social distancing – in full effect and updated some procedures to avoid face to face checklists to be completed in close contact with the authorities; supervision – close supervision on health of personal, subcontractors, clients, and on the availability of LNG transport equipment.
Currently there are no limitations on the loading of LNG from any of the terminals we load from and the transport companies contracted by Titan. We thank and support our supply chain partners for all the hard work over the last period: Donau AG, AMS, Nijman/Zeetank, Schenk Tanktransport, the Port of Rotterdam, and the Port of Amsterdam for taking and supporting the appropriate measures to continue to work safely and guarantee the delivery of LNG.
