作为世界最大的能源消耗国，中国于本周一接收了美国的第一船LNG货物，该货物来自Cheniere能源公司的Sabine Pass 液化和出口终端。

货物由LNG巨头——荷兰壳牌公司租用的容积为161870立方米的“Maran Gas Apollonia”号油轮运载，该油轮是首个通航扩建后的巴拿马运河的LNG货船。

根据船舶追踪网站MarineTraffic的AIS数据，“Maran Gas Apollonia”号正在深圳大鹏湾，中海油旗下的广东大鹏LNG接收站卸下由页岩气制成的美国LNG货物。

Cheniere的Sabine Pass终端位于路易斯安那州，首次用于美国页岩气海外运输，从今年2月起，1号生产线开始运输冷却燃料。

大部分出口到南美，其余至中东、亚洲和欧洲。

先前，Cheniere公司表示希望在8月底开启2号生产线的货物运输，并于9月底基本完工。

China receives U.S. LNG cargo

World’s largest energy consumer, China has on Monday received the first cargo of LNG from Cheniere’s Sabine Pass liquefaction and export terminal in the United States.

The cargo was brought onboard the 161,870-cbm Maran Gas Apollonia, chartered by the Hague-based LNG giant Shell, that was the first LNG tanker to transit the newly expanded Panama Canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Maran Gas Apollonia is currently unloading the U.S. LNG cargo produced from shale gas at the CNOOC-owned Guangdong Dapeng LNG terminal in Shenzhen Dapeng Bay, according to AIS data provided by the vessel tracking website, MarineTraffic.

Cheniere’s Sabine Pass plant in Louisiana, first of its kind to ship U.S. shale gas overseas, started shipping the chilled fuel from Train 1 in February this year.

The majority of these exports went to South America, followed by the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.

Cheniere previously said it expects first cargo from Sabine Pass Train 2 late August with substantial completion to be achieved in late September.
