Peru LNG sent five cargoes in July

According to shipment data by state-owned Perupetro, during July, the 4.4 mtpa LNG plant sent one shipment to the Netherlands, and two shipments each to France and South Korea.

The shipments loaded onboard the LNG carriers LNG Prosperity, GasLog Gladstone, New Nature, GasLog Genoa, and Pan Americas equal about 349,896 tonnes, the data shows.

Besides these vessels, the LNG carrier Megara was located at the Peru LNG pkant on Tuesday, its AIS data provided by VesselsValue shows.

These five LNG cargoes, which were loaded at the Peru LNG plant last month, compare to five LNG cargoes in June this year and four cargoes in July 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.
