Peru ships LNG cargo to Spain

Peruvian natural gas liquefaction and export plant at Pampa Melchorita dispatched a cargo of the chilled fuel to Spain.

According to the shipping data by the state-owned Perupetro, Sovcomflot’s 170,200-cbm SCF Mitre loaded a cargo on December 5 and set course for Spain.

It was the first cargo shipped from the facility in December with Perupetro not revealing the exact destination of the vessel.

With the latest cargo, Peru’s LNG export facility shipped 433 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.
