Peru LNG sent five cargoes in May

During May, the 4.4 mtpa LNG plant sent two LNG cargoes to the Netherlands, one LNG cargo each to China, Spain, and South Korea.

The shipments loaded onboard the LNG carriers Ferrol Knutsen, Pan Americas, Sestao Knutsen, Maran Gas Roxana, and GasLog Houston equal 356,126 tonnes, the Perupetro data shows.

These five LNG cargoes, which were loaded at the Peru LNG plant last month, compare to five cargoes in May 2025.

There were no exports in April, while Peru LNG shipped two cargoes in March due to the disruption of Transportadora de Gas del Peru’s Camisea pipeline.

The 173,000-cbm Maegara also left the Peru LNG plant on June 1, and it is heading to South Korea, the Perupertro data shows.

In total, the LNG plant has sent 17 shipments this year to date, the data shows.

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.

In 2024, 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 stands at 35 percent.
