General – LNG Transport
US Customs and Border Protection has issued a ruling confirming that the transportation of LNG produced at New Fortress Energy’s FLNG facility located offshore Altamira, Mexico by non-US qualified vessels would not violate the Jones Act.
As a result of this ruling, NFE is now able to sell and deliver LNG produced at its FLNG facility located offshore Altamira, Mexico to US locations, including Puerto Rico, the US LNG firm said in a statement.
NFE noted that Puerto Rico is a key downstream market for the company.
“We are extremely pleased to receive this ruling for our FLNG facility since it not only supports one of the company’s largest projects but also supports the people of Puerto Rico,” Wes Edens, chairman and CEO of NFE, said in the statement.
