The Arctic Voyager docked at the FSRU Independence in Klaipeda, according to the vessel position tracking websites marinetraffic.com and vesselfinder.com, having arrived from Norway's Melkoya port where Equinor has a LNG production facility.

It delivered around 138,000 cubic meters of gas to the port of Klaipeda, the terminal's operator, Klaipedos Nafta (Klaipeda Oil), reported.

This will mark the seventh large LNG cargo from Norway in the current gas year that started on October 1, 2019.

Thirteen small LNG cargoes have also come from the Baltic Sea port of Vysotsk, where Russia's largest private gas company Novatek has a LNG production facility, since early October. 

A LNG shipment of more than 150,000 cubic meters from the United States, the third one in the five years of operation of the Klaipeda terminal, arrived in Lithuania in December, too.

The terminal's users have booked regasification capacity for over 19 TWh of gas, or roughly 20 large LNG carriers, for the current gas year ending in late September 2020.
