Russian oil giant Rosneft said on May 6 that it had delivered its first LNG cargo to Egypt.

It said the Golar Ice tanker supplied the cargo to the port of Ain Sukhna as part of a deal agreed to in August 2015.

Rosneft does not produce LNG itself, and the delivery was the first ever in its trading activity. The cargo was bought off from the global spot market, Rosneft said.
