Elengy Says Received Delivery of LNG Cargo at Fos
French terminal operator Elengy said on Thursday that it had received delivery of a cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at its Fos terminal on Wednesday, and expected to receive six more deliveries in February. Elengy said it was the third cargo it had received in the month of January. The delivery could ease supply pressure in southern France where prices hit record highs last week and the spread with prices in the north widened further due to tight supply following a force majeure in Algeria. French southern gas hub contract was at 40.200 euros per megawatt-hour (MWh) on Thursday, down 0.62 percent, sharply lower from its Friday high of 45 euros/MWh. The price in the north was up 3.29 percent to 19.625 euros/MWh. (Reporting by Bate Felix, editing by Gus Trompiz)
Liebherr Supply 1000th Mobile Harbour Crane
The 1000th Liebherr Mobile Harbour Crane has been delivered and erected at Montoir Bulk Terminal (MBT) France. The new LPS 550 is going to play a major role in MBT’s cargo handling chain in order to optimize bulk transport. Their new crane, type LPS 550, has a maximum lifting capacity of 75 tonnes in grab operation. It is the first LPS 550 worldwide. The crane was manufactured and pretested in Rostock before its delivery to the west coast of France. The structure of this type is based on the construction of the LHM 550, which is Liebherr’s most in demand mobile harbour crane model.
