First US shale gas arrives at Ineos plant in Scotland

The first shipment of US shale gas has arrived in Scotland amid a fierce debate about the future of fracking in the UK. A tanker carrying 27,500m3 of ethane from US shale fields has reached Grangemouth, the site of the petrochemicals plant owned by Ineos. The tanker was prevented from docking by high winds and is now anchored outside the port in the Forth estuary. It believes the US shale gas will provide sufficient raw material to run its manufacturing site at full rates, something that has not been possible for many years.
