Panama Canal making way for US LNG exports

Two loaded LNG carrier transits per day are becoming standard for the expanded Panama Canal as US exports start to grow with shipments set to double before the year-end.

Following a meeting with US LNG producer Cheniere Energy, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) said: “ ..two-LNG-transit days have become more and more frequent as the result of the optimisation achieved by traffic scheduling and close coordination with canal customers.”
