The LNG carrier Pacific Success loaded the first export cargo at Sempra Infrastructure's Energia Costa Azul terminal in Ensenada, Mexico, around July 7. The cargo is bound for Asia.
TotalEnergies is shipping it. The company issued a press release on July 9 calling this "the very first cargo produced by the ECA LNG plant."
Energia Costa Azul has been receiving imported LNG and turning it back into gas for distribution since 2008. No cargo had moved the other way until now.
The terminal is still working through commissioning. Full commercial operations have not formally started. Sempra Infrastructure operates the facility, which has a single liquefaction train with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per year.
This is the first LNG export terminal to operate on Mexico's Pacific coast.
