According to shipment data by state-owned Perupetro, during September, the 4.4 mtpa LNG plant sent three shipments to Japan, and one shipment each to the Netherlands and China.
The shipments loaded onboard the LNG carriers Paris Knutsen, Ferrol Knutsen, SM Albatross, BW Pavilion Aranthera, and Kool Boreas equal about 363,636 tonnes, the data shows.
These five LNG cargoes, which were loaded at the Peru LNG plant last month, compare to four LNG cargoes in August this year and six cargoes in September 2024.
Peru LNG previously said it expects to load 60 cargoes equivalent to 218 TBtus (trillion British thermal units) in 2025.
There were 57 vessels equivalent to 205 TBtus in 2024. This is some 3.98 million tons of LNG.
In 2023, Peru LNG loaded 55 vessels. This equals 190.3 TBtu or about 3.69 million tons of LNG, a rise from 51 vessels or 179.05 TBtus in 2022.
LNG giant Shell holds 20 percent in Peru LNG and offtakes all the volumes.
US-based Hunt operates the LNG plant with a 35 percent stake, while Japan’s Marubeni has 10 percent in the LNG terminal operator.
Last year, MidOcean Energy, the LNG unit of US-based energy investor EIG, completed the purchase of an additional 15 percent interest in Peru LNG from Hunt Oil.
MidOcean’s interest in Peru LNG now stands at 35 percent.
