First LNG shipment from Snohvit

The purpose-built Arctic Princess has 145,000 cubic metres of LNG on board and is now on her way to customers in southern Europe.

For the first time, we are supplying gas from the Norwegian continental shelf in a cooled state by ship. This gives increased flexibility in marketing gas globally. Production of LNG from the Barents Sea's Snohvit field began on 13 September. Even though the first shipment is on its way to market, the Hammerfest LNG plant is still in its initial phase.
