据世界天然气10月15日报道称，货运数据显示，位于佐治亚州萨凡纳附近、由金德·摩根领导的厄尔巴岛液化项目可能很快会出口其首批货物。

VesselsValue公司提供的AIS数据显示，由壳牌租赁的液化天然气运输船“Gemmata”号停靠在该设施上。

两周前，美国联邦能源管理委员会批准该设施的首条液化管线开始运行。

该项目一旦全面投产，预计每年液化天然气的液化能力将达到250万吨左右，相当于每天约3.5亿立方英尺的天然气。

耗资近20亿美元的厄尔巴岛液化项目的EPC承包商是IHI E＆C公司，而该项目得到了与总部位于海牙的LNG巨头壳牌公司20年合同的支持。

金德·摩根持有厄尔巴岛液化项目开发商厄尔巴岛液化公司51％的股份，其余49％由EIG Global Energy Partners管理的投资基金持有。

Elba Island LNG nearing first cargo export

Kinder Morgan-led Elba Island liquefaction project near Savannah, Georgia could soon export its first cargo ,shipping data indicates.

Shell-chartered liquefied natural gas carrier Gemmata is docked at the facility, AIS data provided by VesselsValue shows.

The vessel arrives some two weeks following the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s permit to start operation at the facility’s first liquefaction train.

Once in full production, the project is expected to have a total liquefaction capacity of about 2.5 million tonnes per year of LNG, equivalent to about 350 million cubic feet per day of natural gas.

The nearly $2 billion Elba liquefaction project’s EPC contractor is IHI E&C while the project is supported by a 20-year contract with the Hague-based LNG giant Shell.

Kinder Morgan owns 51 percent of the Elba Liquefaction company, the developer of the Elba liquefaction project, while the remaining 49 percent is owned by investment funds managed by EIG Global Energy Partners.
