The event was celebrated with a brief ceremony that involved the vessel's personnel and Adriatic LNG's staff, including the Operations Manager Fabian Erle, who delivered a recognition to Georgios Pissaris, the Captain of the Al Jassasiya.
Adriatic LNG's Commercial Manager, Corrado Papa commented: "Once again our regasification terminal confirmed its strategic role for the national and European energy supply system. Crossing the line of 600 carriers safely moored and discharged is certainly a milestone, which proves the high efficiency and reliability of this infrastructure of excellence, whose success is also based on the use of environmentally friendly technologies and the promotion of a strong safety culture.
Within the first five months of 2018, the Adriatic LNG terminal received 30 carriers, enabling a send-out into the national grid of over 2.6 billion m3 of gas. Characterised by an average utilisation rate equal to 80%, the terminal is significantly more active than other European regasification plants, characterised by an average rate of approximately 22%.
