Out of the 14 vessels, seven departed Cheniere’s Sabine Pass facility. Corpus Christi, Cameron LNG and Freeport LNG facilities exported two cargoes each while a single cargo left Dominion’s Cove Point LNG plant in Maryland.

One vessel was also loading at the Cameron LNG facility in  Hackberry, Louisiana.
