An LNG carrier from the Marshall Islands is transporting 60k tonnes of LNG from Egypt to Bangladesh, according to a cabinet <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/17cgv0ch\">statement<\/a>. A separate trial shipment is also being loaded onto a carrier owned by energy and commodities trader Vitol, and will make its way to Europe, Oil Ministry spokesperson Hamdy Abdel Aziz told <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/3\/12\/404539\/Business\/Economy\/Europe-to-receive-st-Egyptian-liquefied-natural-ga.aspx\">state-run MENA<\/a>.

Eni will also take over the contract for the purchase of natural gas for the plant and will receive corresponding liquefaction rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Europe could be getting even more East Med gas through our liquefaction plants thanks to a pipeline Egypt and Israel have agreed to build<\/strong> that will connect Israel\u2019s offshore Leviathan gas field to Egypt\u2019s liquefaction plants.
