Inaugural Cargo Departs Golden Pass LNG, Heading to Belgium

The Golden Pass LNG terminal is a liquefied natural gas terminal and regasification facility in Sabine Pass (Port Arthur), Texas. It is among the largest LNG facilities in the world. It can accommodate up to 15.6 million metric tons (MT) of LNG per year, the equivalent of approximately 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day (Bcf/d). Earlier this week, MDN told you that the facility's very first official cargo carrier had arrived to "fill 'er up" (see LNG Tanker Arrives at Golden Pass LNG to Export Inaugural Cargo). The Al Qaiyyah LNG tanker, which arrived at the facility on Monday, is owned by QatarEnergy (which owns 70% of the facility). Yesterday, the Al Qaiyyah left with its load and is heading, according to S&P Global, to Belgium's Zeebrugge LNG import terminal.
