Bechtel Announces Delivery of The First LNG Cargo

The first cargo of the Liquified Natural Gas from the Santos GLNG project was successfully loaded onto the Malaysian-owned LNG Cargo vessel Seri Bakti.  The vessel is en route to South Korea.

Alasdair Cathcart, General Manager of Bechtel’s LNG business line, said, “Delivering a project the scale of GLNG alone is an extraordinary effort that instils a great level of achievement and pride within our team.  Successfully delivering the unprecedented scale of projects, side-by-side, simultaneously on Curtis Island, is a testament to the expertise of our team and the level of collaboration with our customers and suppliers.”

David Knox, Santos Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Successfully delivering our first operated LNG project is a testament to our dedicated employees and contractors, the support we have received from governments, local communities, our customers and shareholders, as well as the strong relationships we enjoy with our joint venture partners.  The first cargo from GLNG strengthens our position as a major and competitive LNG supplier to Asia.  GLNG is a robust project and will generate strong cash flows for the business for decades to come.”
