First LNG cargo to leave Sabine Pass

Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. announced that the first commissioning cargo with liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced from the first liquefaction train (Train 1) of its Sabine Pass liquefaction project in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, will depart imminently. The LNG is loading on the LNG carrier Asia Vision, chartered by Cheniere Marketing, LLC and will be heading to Brazil.

“Today we will finish loading the first commissioning cargo of LNG from our Sabine Pass LNG terminal. This historic event opens a new chapter for the country in energy trade and is a significant milestone for Cheniere as we prepare Train 1 for commercial operations,” said Neal Shear, Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Cheniere Partners. “This accomplishment would not have been possible without many years of hard work by our employees, our construction partner, Bechtel, other contractors and thousands of workers at the Sabine Pass site. We especially want to thank our federal, state and local agencies, elected officials and community leaders from across Louisiana and the United States for their continued support and contributions during development and construction.”
