A delegation of Milford Haven representatives took part in a two-day trip to the Qatargas liquefied natural gas facility in Qatar last week.
Milford Haven mayor, Councillor Tony Eden and town councillors Mark Hawkins and David Friend, all members of the South Hook Community Liaison group, travelled to Doha on the fact finding tour.
Accompanied by Mohammed Al-Naimi director and general manager of South Hook, the group had a tour around the production and export facilities at Ras Laffan.
Briefings on the LNG value chain and Qatargas 2, one of the largest LNG liquefaction trains in the world were also held.
Milford mayor, Councillor Tony Eden, said: “This was an essential visit, nothing captures the enormity of the project unless you see it first-hand.
“We very pleased to see the importance on the relationship with the community in Pembrokeshire.
The group also had an opportunity to tour the main control room at the Ras Laffan port, which included a meeting with the director of the Ras Laffan Industrial city and South Hook Board director Sheikh Khalid Bin Khalia Al-Thani.
“We have been reassured that no short cuts have been made in relation to the safety of the building of the South Hook terminal and its fleet of LNG carriers,” added the mayor.
