RIPET Exports...YTDAs GunnerG stated, Gas Capricorn left RIPET late last night, April24. It is the 10
th vessel for the year and 2
nd this qtr.
A few observations :
1)VLGC's hold the propane at -48C since they are not pressurized vessels. Propane needs to be at atmospheric pressure.
2)RIPET storage temperature is -42C.
3)Shipper pays the cost of all shipping charges. Shipping charges begin at the time of when the vessel begins its journey from its anchored position. The purchaser and the shipper agree to a date the vessel is to arrive at RIPET. Any delays are the shipper’s responsibility. There was a 3day delay which is likely due from a 3
rd party.
4)The throughput average at Ripet is
40,641 bbls/day. Why the trend?
