The first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo is expected to arrive in Ghana at the end of this month (May).
The country is preparing to become sub-Saharan Africa’s first LNG importer. The project, which is backed by Helios Investment Partners and Africa Infrastructure Investment Managers, will consist of separate regasification and storage vessels and have the capacity to import 1.7 million mt/year of LNG.
“The first cargo is currently expected for the end of May,” a spokesman for the project told S&P Global Platts. “The project is operationally ready, and is currently awaiting an agreement between Shell and GNPC on the first delivery date.”
LNG will be supplied under a long-term contract with Shell.
