Currently only two terminals, Dahej and Dabhol, have LNG vessels at berth
8The low capacity utilization at Munda terminal can be seen from the long lengh of time between the unloading of one vessel in comparison with another.
8Also, the vessels unloading at Mundra are of lower capacity than standard vessels. All of this is because the terminal is running at lower capacity due to pipeline evacuation constraints. So the transportation cost per/mmbtu is higher for this low efficiency, low capacity vessels berthing at Mundra.
8Just now, perhaps the cost differential does not matter as the cost of gas is low, but it will pinch when cost of gas is higher.
