According to a social media post by Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, this shipment of 150,000-cbm of LNG departed the Idku plant onboard the Shell-chartered 174,000-cbm LNG carrier GasLog Gibraltar.
The ministry stated that the shipment is bound for Greece.
GasLog Gibraltar’s AIS data provided by VesselsValue shows that the LNG carrier is on its way to DESFA’s LNG terminal on the island of Revithoussa.
This is the fifth LNG cargo exported by Egypt in 2025, following two shipments in October, despite growing LNG imports.
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 recently 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.
