Snam’s Piombino FSRU gets Golden Pass LNG cargo

According to its AIS data provided by VesselsValue, the 2026-built 174,000-cbm Al Na’amah delivered the Golden Pass LNG cargo to Snam’s 170,000-cbm FSRU, Italis LNG, in Piombino during the weekend and was sailing in the Mediterranean Sea on Monday.

Al Na’amah picked up the LNG cargo at the Golden Pass LNG facility in Texas last month, the data shows.

This is the third LNG export cargo for the facility owned by energy giants QatarEnergy and ExxonMobil.

In May, the Fluxys-operated Zeebrugge LNG import terminal received the first Golden Pass LNG cargo produced from the first liquefaction Golden Pass liquefaction train.

State-owned QatarEnergy owns a 70 percent stake in the Golden Pass project and will offtake 70 percent of the capacity, while US energy firm ExxonMobil has a 30 percent share.

The Golden Pass LNG export terminal has three liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 18.1 million tons per year, five 155,000 cbm LNG storage tanks, and two marine berths to accommodate the world’s largest LNG carriers.

Golden Pass LNG recently secured approval from the US FERC to kick off the commissioning process for the second liquefaction train.

In May, ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods said that the company expects the second liquefaction train to be mechanically complete by the end of this year.

“Train 2 we expect to be mechanically complete by the end of this year, and Train 3 should be mechanically complete as we head into the second quarter of next year,” Woods said.
