LNG

Dec 29 (LNGJ) - Three LNG cargoes have been lifted so far in December from Peru’s Pampa Melchorita export plant on the Pacific Coast and priced on three different markets in the US and Europe.

   Firstly, the 167,400 cubic metres capacity vessel “Methane Patricia Camila”, which was headed for Rotterdam, had a cargo priced in early December on the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF). Then the 173,400 cubic metres capacity carrier “Macoma” lifted a cargo based on the northeast US Algonquin City-Gate price. The 173,400 cubic metres capacity “Magdala” departed Peru with its shipment priced on the UK National Balancing Point benchmark.

The Qatari Q-Flex liquefied natural gas carrier “Al Safliyah”, the largest LNG vessel to transit the expanded Panama Canal, was berthing offshore Cheniere Energy’s US export plants in the Gulf of Mexico to lift a cargo.

The 210,100 cubic metres capacity Qatari Q-Flex LNG carrier, the “Al Safliyah” will become the largest LNG vessel to transit the expanded Panama Canal next week.
