LNG

March 12 (LNGJ) - The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved a request from Cheniere Energy, owner of the Sabine Pass LNG export plant in Louisiana, to begin the permit process for a third loading jetty at the facility that started commercial operations in February 2016. Cheniere told the regulator that it would formally apply for the jetty permit in September 2018 so that the additional facility to handle vessels with capacity of between 125,000 cubic metres and 185,000 cubic metres would be ready for the coming on stream of the final two of the six planned liquefaction Trains.
