Nakilat assumed full ship management and operations of Q-Flex LNG carrier Al Ghashamiya from STASCo (Shell Trading and Shipping Company Ltd) with effect from May 24, 2017, as part of the planned and phased transition announced on October 19, last year.
With a cargo carrying capacity of 217,591 cubic meters, Al Ghashamiya is wholly-owned by Nakilat and chartered by Qatargas.
The vessel built in South Korea by Samsung Heavy Industries was delivered in April 2009 and has been in service ever since. Al Ghashamiya is the eighth wholly-owned LNG vessel that will come under the management of Nakilat Shipping Qatar Ltd (NSQL).
