DNG Energy ships in South Africa's first LNG volumes

A long-awaited first shipment of LNG has arrived in South Africa as DNG Energy finally cracks the code for the country with volumes imported by container.

SABC News TV said the country's first container of LNG had been received from the Netherlands at the port of Ngqura in Gqeberha. The volumes will be stored at the port.

The TV network interviewed DNG group chief executive Aldworth Mbalati in front of a Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) container vessel expounding on the benefits of LNG.
