According to Petrovietnam Gas Corporation (PV Gas), the vessel docked at the Thi Vai LNG terminal operated by the company, a member unit of Vietnam National Industry – Energy Group (Petrovietnam).

The vessel, FAT’H AL KHAIR LNG, carried around 63,000 tonnes of LNG, equivalent to approximately 87 million standard cubic meters (Sm³) of natural gas.

The cargo was arranged by PV Gas and loaded on February 26 before departing the Middle East. The vessel traveled through the Strait of Hormuz before military tensions involving Iran escalated in the region, and later arrived safely at the Thi Vai terminal after completing its international voyage.

The LNG shipment will be regasified at the Thi Vai LNG terminal to supply fuel for power plants, contributing to ensuring fuel availability for Vietnam’s national power system as energy demand continues to grow.

This also marks the first LNG import shipment of PV Gas in 2026, helping secure energy supply for electricity generation at a time when the global LNG market remains volatile.

The safe arrival of the first LNG shipment of the year not only supports fuel supply for power generation but also signals a positive start for the LNG import activities of Petrovietnam and PV Gas in 2026, amid ongoing challenges in the global energy market.

PV Gas said its proactive efforts in arranging cargo supply, signing contracts early and organising timely transportation demonstrate the company’s capacity in managing the gas supply chain, while contributing to stabilising the energy market and ensuring Vietnam’s national energy security.
