Initial cargo of liquefied natural gas ships from Mexico

The developer of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Mexico shipped an initial cargo this month, with the LNG sailing via the Panama Canal to Mexico’s LNG import terminal in Baja California Sur. Developer New Fortress Energy produced the LNG aboard an offshore Floating LNG (FLNG) production vessel with a capacity to liquefy up to 0.199 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas—one of two FLNG production units that are part of the Fast LNG Altamira export project on the east coast of Mexico. U.S. natural gas delivered via the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline supplies the project.
