LNG

Freeport LNG, the US export plant in Quintana Island in Texas, has despatched its 100th cargo after sending out its first shipment from the former import terminal just 14 months ago.

US LNG exports are expected to amount to 60 million tonnes per annum by the end of 2019, making the Americans the world’s third-largest exporters as more projects come on stream and are ramped up on the US Gulf Coast, including Cameron LNG in Louisiana and Freeport and Corpus Christi plants in Texas.
