LNG

Dec 7 (LNGJ) - US LNG exports increased in the past week to eight shipments, six from the Sabine Pass in Louisiana and two from Cove Point in Maryland and set a new monthly record, said the US Energy Information Administration. Another LNG carrier, the 174,000 cubic metres capacity “Maria Energy”, was moored near the new Corpus Christi liquefaction and export facility in Texas and is expected to lift the first cargo. US LNG exports in November amounted to 31 loaded cargoes, 26 from Sabine Pass and five from Cove Point, exceeding the previous monthly record set in July 2018 when 29 shipments left the US.
