Gas tanker 'Lingegas' has visited occupied Western Sahara.
Date of photo unknown. Photo found on homepages of a Moroccan official homepage trying to attract investments to the occupied Western Sahara.
The Moroccan agency originally labelled the photo "REMORQUEUR APRES ARRET", remorqueur suggesting that it is a tugboat.
That is incorrect. Lingegas is, however, a Dutch owned gas tanker, with IMO number 8008383.
For the first time, the USA is the biggest exporter of gas into Western Sahara.
Nearly all petroleum that arrived in occupied Western Sahara in 2022 originated from refineries in Spain.
Morocco and Nigeria signed an agreement on the planned offshore gas pipeline between the two countries, projected to turn onshore in occupied Western Sahara.
The Australian company confirms to undertake a pipeline study through Western Sahara, four months after WSRW contacted the company over the matter.
