According to a social media post by Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, this shipment of 155,000 cbm of LNG departed the Idku plant onboard the Total Energies-chartered LNG carrier LNG Endurance.
The ministry said the shipment is heading to Turkiye.
LNG Endurance’s AIS data provided by VesselsValue shows that the LNG carrier delivered the cargo to the Botas-operated Marmara Ereglisi onshore LNG import terminal in Turkiye.
TotalEnergies is a shareholder in the 7.2 mtpa Idku liquefaction and export facility operated by Shell.
Other partners include Egypt’s EGAS and EGPC and Malaysia’s Petronas.
This is the second LNG cargo exported by Egypt in October and the fourth in 2025.
Prior to this shipment, the ministry announced earlier this month that one LNG export shipment departed to Italy from the Idku plant.
The vessel New Nature, operated by Shell International, is carrying a cargo of 155,000 cubic meters of LNG to Italy, the ministry said.
Its AIS data shows that it was in the Adriatic Sea on Wednesday and heading to Snam’s Ravenna FSRU-based facility.
Egypt shifted from being an LNG exporter to an importer early last year due to declining domestic gas production and rising demand for cooling amid multiple heatwaves.
The country just launched operations at another FSRU-based facility with the arrival of the first cargo at the 138,350-cbm Energos Winter in Damietta.
The Damietta FSRU is located on the Mediterranean coast, unlike the other three vessels which are located at Ain Sukhna on the Red Sea.
