Owners and operators
Stakes as reported by GEM per unit, merged across units. Percentages are omitted where GEM does not give them.
Reported cost
Global Energy Monitor's estimated cost for each unit that reports one, converted to US dollars. Estimates at the date GEM last updated the unit, not adjusted for inflation.
| Unit | Status | Capacity | Estimated cost | Per tonne a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Export Terminal T1 | Operating | 4.5 Mtpa | $3.33 billion | $741 |
| Export Terminal T2 | Operating | 4.5 Mtpa | $3.33 billion | $741 |
| Export Terminal T3 | Operating | 4.5 Mtpa | $3.33 billion | $741 |
Financing as GEM records it: US$7.7 billion in debt financing across three tranches and agreed in 2014: US$2.5 billion loan from Japan Bank for International Cooperation; a US$2 billion loan from a consortium of international banks (loan insured by Nippon Export and Investment Insurance); a US$3.265 billion loan from international banks · US$4 billion in debt financing is being sought, JPMorgan Chase is the financial advisor
A unit with no cost reported is not shown, and the figures are never added across statuses. How the estimates compare is on project costs.

Exposed to chokepoints
Where cargoes from this terminal would normally pass a maritime chokepoint, by destination market.
| Destination | Chokepoints on the usual route | Alternative route |
|---|---|---|
| East Asia | Panama CanalPanama slot availability and draught decide between these; the Cape is the fallback. | Suez CanalStrait of Malacca |
| South Asia | Suez CanalBab el-Mandeb | Cape of Good Hope |
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.
