April 14 (LNGJ) - Eagle LNG Partners of the US has signed an agreement with utility Aqualectra with a view to making Curaçao, located in the Caribbean together with sister islands Aruba and Bonaire, an LNG importer. Curaçao is a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands voted for by the people in 2010.
The Eagle LNG accord will open the way for Aqualectra to secure LNG in ISO containers shipped from the US state of Florida. “Both parties will continue on with the developments that will make supplying of gas possible. This will result in lower production costs, which ultimately means lower electricity and water prices for the people of Curaçao,” said a statement. The accord was signed by Aqualectra Chief Executive Darick Jonis, and Filipe Pinto, Vice President of Business Development of Eagle LNG. “A possible collaboration between Aqualectra and Eagle LNG brings about a great synergy, as Eagle LNG currently offers its services in Aruba as well,” added Eagle.
