The cargo was loaded onto the Al Thumama carrier at Ras Laffan and offloaded to MLNG last month.
According to Qatargas, this was the first commercial open water ship-to-ship transfer involving a Q-Flex LNG vessel.
MLNG has been jointly developed by Excelerate Energy and the Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corp. (Petrobangla). The FSRU is under a 15-year charter deal to Petrobangla and transported the inaugural LNG cargo from Qatar in April 2018.
Qatargas has a long-term agreement to supply Petrobangla with up to 2.5 MMt/yr of LNG over a 15-year period.
