石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯休斯顿5月28日消息 一名飞行员调度员表示，周一晚间一艘三井公司所属的液化天然气油轮在墨西哥湾下水，预计周二抵达位于路易斯安那州的森普拉能源出口码头。
标普普氏贸易流软件cFlow显示，与日本NYK有关联的一家公司拥有的第二艘油轮周一晚间在北大西洋，可能也将驶往卡梅伦液化天然气接收站。
三井物产和NYK都是查理斯湖以南哈克贝里液化设施的股权合作伙伴。森普拉是卡梅伦 LNG的大股东，该公司发言人表示，进一步的调查将交由个别合作伙伴进行。该工厂于5月14日开工，自那以来一直在生产液化天然气，为第一批货物的出口做准备。
液化天然气油轮在靠近某一特定港口时，根据市场经济和运营决策，设置或更改目的地的情况并不少见。
cFlow的数据显示，这两艘油轮中较近的一艘即Marvel Crane，于5月5日离开了巴塞罗那。
另一艘油轮即Shinshu Maru于当地时间周一晚间驶入北大西洋，其船长的目的地定于“卡梅伦号”，目的地是美国，预计抵达日期为6月8日。
据cFlow称，这艘油轮最后一次停靠在比利时海岸一个再化油站Zeebrugge的港口，于5月24日离开。
备受期待的卡梅伦LNG首列列车的启动，标志着自2016年以来美国启动的第四个此类项目。目前，美国正寻求为页岩气生产商在墨西哥湾沿岸、中部大陆地区和东北部的关键盆地提供更多出口。
卡梅隆LNG项目耗资100亿美元，由总部位于圣地亚哥的森普拉、法国道达尔、日本三井物产株式会社子公司以及日本三菱和日本邮船株式会社(NYK)共同拥有的公司的合资企业。

Cameron LNG set to receive tanker as facility liquefies first cargo
An unladen Mitsui-owned LNG tanker was in the Gulf of Mexico late Monday and scheduled to arrive Tuesday at Sempra Energy's export terminal in Louisiana as the facility prepares to ship its first cargo, a pilots dispatcher said.
A second tanker owned by a company tied to Japan's NYK was in the North Atlantic late Monday and may also be headed to the Cameron LNG terminal, S&P Global Platts trade flow software, cFlow, showed.
Both Mitsui and NYK are equity partners in the liquefaction facility in Hackberry, south of Lake Charles. A spokeswoman for Sempra, the majority owner of Cameron LNG,and she referred further inquiries to the individual partners. The facility started up on May 14 and has been producing LNG since then in preparation for the export of its first cargo.
It is not uncommon for LNG tankers to set captain's destinations or change destinations when close to a particular port, based on market economics and operational decisions.
The closer of the two tankers, the Marvel Crane, left Barcelona on May 5, cFlow showed.
The other tanker, the Shinshu Maru, was in the North Atlantic on Monday evening local time with a captain's destination set for 'Cameron', a track towards the US and a scheduled arrival date of June 8.
The tanker was last in port at Zeebrugge, site of a regasification terminal on the coast of Belgium, which it departed from on May 24, according to cFlow.
The highly anticipated startup of the first train at Cameron LNG marked the fourth such US project to begin operations since 2016, as the US looks to give shale gas producers more outlets from key basins along the Gulf Coast, in the Midcontinent region and in the Northeast.
The $10 billion Cameron LNG project -- a joint venture of affiliates of San Diego-based Sempra, France's Total, Japan's Mitsui and a company jointly owned by Japan's Mitsubishi and NYK.
