Egypt has exported its newest liquefied natural gas cargo to Turkiye.
According to a social media post by Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, this shipment of 150,000-cbm of LNG departed the Idku plant onboard the Shell-chartered 174,000-cbm LNG Harmony.
The ministry stated that the shipment is bound for Turkiye.
LNG Harmony’s AIS data provided by VesselsValue shows that the LNG carrier is on its way to the Botas-operated onshore Marmara Ereglisi import terminal.
This is the sixth LNG cargo exported by Egypt in 2025, following two shipments in October and one in November, despite growing LNG imports.
Turkiye also received one LNG shipment from Egypt in October.
Egypt shifted from being an LNG exporter to an importer early last year due to declining domestic gas production and rising demand for cooling amid multiple heatwaves.
The country recently launched operations at another FSRU-based facility with the arrival of the first cargo at the 138,350-cbm Energos Winter in Damietta.
The Damietta FSRU is located on the Mediterranean coast, unlike the other three vessels which are located at Ain Sukhna on the Red Sea. (December 9, 2025, Source: https://lngprime.com/africa/turkiye-to-get-lng-cargo-from-egypt/171455/)
