Mitsui & Co. has been chosen to deliver Colombia’s first cargo of liquefied natural gas later this year as the country prepares to place a floating import terminal into service, according to the terminal’s developer.

Mitsui will send the cargo to the gas storage complex that Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao SA ESP, owned in part by Colombia gas provider Promigas, is completing off Colombia’s northern coast, Jose Montes, the developer’s chief executive officer, said in a telephone interview Friday. The site is scheduled to start commissioning in late September or early October and is expected to be fully operating by November, he said.
