AMMAN — The steamship rented for the liquefied natural gas project in Aqaba will arrive at the LNG terminal on May 25 after undergoing the required adjustments, Energy Minister Ibrahim Saif said Tuesday.
Saif added that the steamship is currently docked in regional waters near Singapore, waiting to leave for Qatar in order to be filled with the LNG shipment required for operational tests.
