Spain, UK, Belgium to take LNG by June 20

Britain looks set to take delivery of another cargo of liquefied natural gas on Friday, while one tanker is expected to arrive in Belgium, according to AISLive ship-tracking data.
Three tankers are expected in Spain on June 16 and one on June 20, the data showed.
BP's (BP.L) British Innovator tanker, which can carry 138,200-cubic-metres of the super-cooled gas, is heading for a port in north west Europe after passing through the English Channel on Friday morning, according to AISLive data on Reuters.
There are only two LNG import terminals in northwest Europe able to handle ships like the Innovator -- Britain's Isle of Grain and Zeebrugge in Belgium.
The tanker is not listed on the Zeebrugge port authority's arrivals website -- with the next LNG delivery to the port in Belgium listed as the 145,000-cubic metre Qatari tanker called Al Deebel and due to arrive June 16.
BP, along with Sonatrach, Centrica Plc (CNA.L) and GDF Suez (GSZ.PA), owns capacity at the terminal in southern England. Terminal operator National Grid declined to comment on whether the ship was due in on Friday evening.
Qatar's Al Daayen tanker arrived at Britain's South Hook import terminal in Wales on Thursday, according to AISLive, and is due to depart on Saturday, according to the local port authority website.
The Sohar LNG tanker, which can carry 137,248 cubic metres of the super-cooled gas, is expected to arrive at the Spanish port of Bilbao on June 16, while Gas Natural's Norman Lady is expected to arrive at Barcelona and GDF's Maran Gas Coronis at Sagunto near Valencia from Egypt on the same day. Respol's Hispania Spirit is expected at Spain's El Ferrol terminal from Trinidad on June 20, according to the data.
