LNG Croatia announced that the gas carrier British Mentor docked at the floating terminal on the island of KrK on January 23, with the first load of natural gas extracted in the province of Cabo Delgado. The ship is expected to set sail this Wednesday after completing unloading.

Croatia became the world's 40th LNG importer in 2021 and has since announced plans to double the Krk terminal's gas capacity to 6.1 billion cubic meters per year, writes Natural Gas World on its online portal, quoted by Notícias online.

That European country also announced last year that the floating terminal located on the island of Krk will start shipping LNG to gas-powered ships and vehicles in Italy and Eastern Europe, under a joint collaboration agreement concluded by its operator Prvo Plinarsko Drustvo and Avenir LNG.

Last November Mozambique announced the export of the first shipment of LNG, extracted from its Coral South FLNG platform, which has a gas liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million metric tons/year.
