en.Wedoany.com Reported - In May this year, a 4.4 million tons per year liquefied natural gas plant in Peru loaded a total of five LNG cargoes, weighing 356,126 tons. Among them, two cargoes were shipped to the Netherlands, one to China, one to Spain, and one to South Korea. According to data from Peru's state oil company Perupetro, the LNG carriers that transported these cargoes were Ferrol Knutsen, Pan Americas, Sestao Knutsen, Maran Gas Roxana, and GasLog Houston.

The five LNG cargoes shipped in the month were on par with the five cargoes in May 2025. Previously, the LNG plant had no exports in April; due to an interruption in the Camisea pipeline operated by Transportadora de Gas del Peru, only two cargoes were loaded in March.

Additionally, Perupetro data shows that the 173,000 cubic meter capacity vessel Maegara departed from the LNG plant on June 1 and is heading to South Korea. So far this year, the plant has shipped a total of 17 LNG cargoes.

The plant's operations and ownership structure show that LNG giant Shell holds a 20% stake in Peru LNG and offtakes all production; U.S.-based Hunt holds a 35% stake and is responsible for operations; Japan's Marubeni holds a 10% stake in the LNG terminal operator. In 2024, MidOcean Energy, an LNG subsidiary of U.S. energy investor EIG, completed the acquisition of an additional 15% stake in Peru LNG from Hunt Oil, raising MidOcean Energy's shareholding in Peru LNG to 35%.
