The first cargo of liquefied natural gas has departed from the U.S.’s newest export facility, expanding sales from the key producer just as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine intensifies worries over tight global supplies.
Energy trader Jera Global Markets chartered the vessel Yiannis to load the inaugural shipment at Venture Global LNG Inc.’s Calcasieu Pass facility in Louisiana, the companies said in a statement Tuesday. The Yiannis was the first ship to arrive at Calcasieu after the facility began producing LNG in January.
