Where is Atlantic LNG Terminal?

Atlantic LNG Terminal is an LNG export terminal in Trinidad and Tobago. It is made up of 5 tracked trains and phases.

Is Atlantic LNG Terminal operating?

Atlantic LNG Terminal is operating, with its first tracked train starting in 1999.

How much LNG can Atlantic LNG Terminal handle?

Atlantic LNG Terminal has 12 Mtpa operating, equivalent to 16.3 bcm/y of gas a year in operation. Capacity at different statuses is never added together.

Who owns Atlantic LNG Terminal?

Ownership of Atlantic LNG Terminal is not reported in the current tracker release. It is operated by Atlantic LNG, which is a different thing: the operator runs the facility and need not hold any share of it.

Which maritime chokepoints do cargoes from Atlantic LNG Terminal pass?

Cargoes from Atlantic LNG Terminal would normally pass Panama Canal. This is an editorial model of typical laden voyages by destination market, not vessel tracking, and any individual cargo may go another way.

What pipelines connect to Atlantic LNG Terminal?

8 tracked gas pipelines pass within 25 km of Atlantic LNG Terminal. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection; each match is listed with its distance.

Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures. See methodology, or take the machine-readable exposure feed. Links to the Chokepoints site are inactive until its domain is set in the environment.

Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

Liquefaction trains explained
A liquefaction train is one complete, self-contained refrigeration line that chills treated natural gas until it condenses, and a large modern train produces roughly 5 to 8 million tonnes of LNG a year.
LNG and maritime chokepoints
A maritime chokepoint is a narrow strait or canal that a large share of seaborne trade must pass through, and LNG exposure to them depends entirely on which exporting region supplies which importing market.
Mtpa, bcm and cubic metres
LNG capacity is quoted in three incompatible units, and the two conversions that matter are 1 million tonnes a year equals about 1.36 billion cubic metres of gas a year, and 1 cubic metre of liquid equals about 600 cubic metres of gas.
Reading a capacity figure without being misled
An LNG capacity figure is only meaningful alongside three qualifiers — which unit it is in, which project status it describes, and whether it is a design nameplate or actual output — and most disagreements between sources come from one of those being dropped.
