Following the first two LNG trains of the plant a third train, named Qalhat LNG, with a production capacity of 3.7 million tonnes per year began construction in 2004. The project's commercial inauguration followed in the same year, when Mohammed Al Rumhi, Oman's oil and gas minister and chairman of Qalhat LNG, signed a long-term LNG supply agreement with the Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation. The plant was finished in late 2005, inaugurated in March 2006 and the first shipments commenced in early 2006.[9][10] Also in 2005 the 500th cargo was shipped to KOGAS in Korea and the 1000th cargo to Osaka in Japan in 2009.[11]
