The LNG vessel FAT’H AL KHAIR has successfully docked at the Thi Vai LNG Terminal (Tan Phuoc Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), carrying approximately 63,000 tons of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).

This shipment is equivalent to about 87 million standard cubic meters (Sm3) of natural gas.

According to the Petrovietnam Gas Joint Stock Corporation (PV GAS)—a subsidiary of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam)—this marks the company’s first LNG import shipment of 2026. The cargo was arranged by PV GAS on February 26, 2026, and arrived safely at Thi Vai Port following an international voyage.

Notably, the vessel departed the Middle East and transited the Strait of Hormuz just before military tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran flared up. As a result, the shipment avoided any disruptions despite the region becoming a global geopolitical hotspot.

The LNG from the FAT’H AL KHAIR will be regasified at the Thi Vai LNG Terminal to supply various power plants. This shipment plays a critical role in securing the fuel supply for the national power grid during a period of surging energy demand.
