An inaugural liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo left the new LNG Canada facility in Kitimat, B.C., on June 30, marking the first-ever large scale LNG shipment from Canada’s West coast to Asian markets.

The 291-metre long and 46-metre wide GasLog Glasgow tanker chartered by Shell and operating under Bermuda’s flag left the Kitimat terminal with the cargo for its 10-day journey to northern Asia. Following the LNG being pumped onto the tanker, tugboats will take the vessel approximately 300 kilometres through the Douglas Channel to the open ocean.
