Metlen announced the arrival of the LNG cargo in a statement on Monday.
However, the firm did not provide further details regarding the shipment.
With this new shipment, Metlen expands its cooperation with Bulgargaz.
Metlen noted that in 2018, it became the first company to import LNG via the Revithoussa LNG terminal and export it to Bulgaria.
Bulgargaz said in a statement on December 11 that unloading of the second US LNG cargo at the terminal near Alexandroupolis had begun.
The shipment was delivered from Venture Global’s Plaquemines LNG facility.
In October, Bulgargaz selected TotalEnergies, Metlen Energy & Metals, and Shell to supply it with US LNG cargoes via the Alexandroupolis FSRU following the completion of a tender.
French energy giant TotalEnergies and Metlen Energy & Metals have been selected to supply LNG in October and December 2025, while Metlen Energy & Metals and UK-based LNG giant Shell will supply LNG in January and March 2026, respectively.
Gastrade received the first LNG cargo at its FSRU-based terminal in Alexandroupolis since January this year in October.
TotalEnergies supplied the US LNG shipment to Bulgargaz under the awarded tender.
 Alexandroupolis FSRU
In August, Gastrade resumed Alexandroupolis FSRU operations following a technical issue in January this year.
The FSRU resumed operations at a limited regasification capacity of 45.4 GWh/day, including redundancy with respect to its booster pumps.
Gastrade increased the capacity to 136.2 GWh/day on October 21.
As previously reported by LNG Prime, UK-based energy giant BP supplied an LNG cargo to Bulgargaz via the Alexandroupolis FSRU in January.
The 2021-built 174,000-cbm, BW Lesmes, delivered the shipment from the Freeport LNG terminal in Texas to the 153,500-cbm FSRU, Alexandroupolis, on January 19.
This new delivery by BP marked the fourth commercial LNG delivery to the FSRU-based facility.
The Alexandroupolis LNG terminal has a capacity of up to 5.5 bcm per year, or some 66.3 TWh per year.
It is the first FSRU-based facility in Greece and adds to DESFA’s LNG import terminal located on the island of Revithoussa.
Gastrade’s shareholders include founder Copelouzou, DESFA, DEPA, Bulgartransgaz, and GasLog.
