Peru ships LNG cargoes to Spain, Mexico

Peru’s only liquefaction facility at Pampa Melchorita shipped a cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Spain and Mexico each. 

According to the data released by the state-owned Perupetro, the 145,598-cbm Methane Nile Eagle departed the terminal on June 20 and set course for Spain.

The second cargo was loaded on June 22, aboard the 136,600-cbm LNG carrier Galea and dispatched to Mexico.

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.

With the two latest cargoes, the facility has dispatched 405 vessels in total since it started operations in June 2010.
