The
LNG terminal will be situated in Salinas del Marquez, Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, and
Mexico. This location is strategically chosen because it offers a prime
position on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal, making it ideally positioned
to supply liquefied natural gas to the North and Central American maritime
markets. The joint venture partners believe this location will enhance the
efficiency and reach of their bunker and fuel supply operations across these
key regions. The facility is set to produce 2.3 million litres (600,000 gallons)
of LNG daily, or about 0.34 million tonnes a year, with operations expected to
start around mid-to-late 2027. It will feature modular, land-based liquefaction
equipment and an efficient storage solution, including a floating storage unit
(FSU) with a capacity between 50,000 and 140,000 cubic meters, which will be
anchored inside the newly expanded breakwater at the Port of Salina Cruz.
Salina Cruz LNG will source its natural gas from the Veracruz region in Mexico,
enabling it to tap into new, high-value markets along the Pacific Coast. This
setup will help the facility access and supply LNG to areas with growing
demand, leveraging domestic resources to boost its reach and impact in these
key markets.
