Olren said on Tuesday that the LNG cargo of 100 million cubic meters of natural gas was supplied to Osaka Gas Japan’s city gas supplier and LNG importer.

The 174,000-cbm LNG carrier Osaka Gas, Ignacy Jan Padarewski, the newest vessel in Orlen’s fleet delivered the shipment.

Orlen noted that Ignacy Jan Paderewski entered service in Asia in the first half of 2025 and returned to the region just a few months later with LNG from the US.

Orlen chartered this vessel, built by HD Hyundai Samho’s yard in Mokpo, from Norwegian shipping firm Knutsen.

Orlen said the new cooperation highlights its commercial and shipping capabilities and strengthens the group’s position in the global LNG market.

This will be the 41st cargo handled by Orlen’s London trading office with its own vessels, and the 15th this year.

Orlen said its ability to scale its operations and respond flexibly to market needs is supported by the company’s own logistics assets – six LNG carriers, which since the beginning of 2025 have already delivered around 700,000 tonnes of LNG to the region.
