Peru dispatches LNG cargo to Spain

Peru’s only liquefaction facility at Pampa Melchorita shipped its fourth cargo of the month earlier this week. 

Shell’s Gemmata LNG carrier with a capacity of 138,104 cubic meters loaded a cargo on Monday, October 23 and set course for Spain.

The state-owned Perupetro did not reveal the exact destination of the vessel.

With the latest cargo, Peru’s LNG export facility shipped 425 vessels in total, since it started operations in June 2010.

The 4.45 million tons per year gas liquefaction plant is located 170 kilometers south of Lima and receives gas via a 408-kilometer pipeline built across the Andes.
