After some delays and mixed signals from its vessel, New Fortress Energy Inc. (NFE) has confirmed the first shipment of U.S. natural gas liquefied in Mexico has been loaded and is on the water.
In a video published this week, New York-based NFE disclosed it had successfully loaded an LNG cargo at its 1.4 million metric tons/year (mmty) fast liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility offshore Altamira. Earlier in the month, the company pushed its target for a first cargo shipment in late July to mid-August after a series of delays starting in April.
NFE also disclosed its first LNG cargo would be loaded on the Energos Princess and delivered to the Pichilingue liquefied natural gas import terminal in La Paz on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. NFE has a supply agreement with Mexico’s Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) to provide up to 0.3 mmty of LNG to the import terminal in southern Baja California.
