Dec 11 (LNGJ) - Jera Co. Inc., the largest Japanese LNG buyer for the nation’s leading utilities, said it was pleased with the recent start-up of commercial operations on Train 1 at the Freeport export plant on Quintana Island in Texas. The facility when completed will have three Trains with 15 million tonnes per annum of capacity and has permission to build a fourth Train.
