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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not reported | Shelved | Not reported | $283 million | Not reported |
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.

Floating vessels named by GEM
The terminal and carrier workbooks share no identifier, so a name is linked to a carrier page only where it matches exactly one tracked vessel by name. A name with no link is not in the carrier tracker under that name.

Supplied via
Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.
Atlantic-basin supply from the United States crosses no chokepoint, which is why the European exposure figure is lower than it looks.
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.
