The US Port of Corpus Christi in Texas reported a 12.3 percent year-on-year increase in its liquefied natural gas (LNG) volumes in the first quarter of this year.

According to a statement on Wednesday, the port and its customers moved 51.3 million tons of commodities through the Corpus Christi Ship Channel in the first quarter of 2025, driven primarily by increases in crude oil and LNG shipments.

The volumes moved in the first quarter reflect the highest first quarter in the history of the Port of Corpus Christi as well as the first time volumes exceeded 50 million tons during that period.

Crude oil shipments in the first quarter totaled 33.4 million tons, up 10.5 percent over the same period last year, while LNG volumes were up 12.3 percent to 4.3 million tons, the port said.

These volumes will grow in the future as Cheniere’s Corpus Christi liquefaction facility is currently undergoing a capacity expansion.

The Corpus Christi terminal consists of three trains, each with a capacity of about 5 million tonnes per annum.

Cheneire is also building the Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion project.

Last month, Cheniere’s EPC partner, Bechtel, turned over care, custody, and control of CCL Stage 3 Train 1 and associated systems to Cheniere ahead of schedule.

The project includes building seven midscale trains, each with an expected liquefaction capacity of about 1.49 mtpa.

In addition to this project, Cheniere also aims to build two more midscale trains as part of the CCL Midscale 8-9 project.
