The US Customs and Border Protection issued a ruling confirming that the transportation of LNG produced at New Fortress Energy’s FLNG plant offshore Altamira, Mexico, by non-US qualified vessels would not violate the Jones Act.
The company’s first Fast LNG installation, FLNG 1, deployed in Altamira, receives gas from the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline and liquefies it for export. First gas for the unit was achieved in November 2023.
