NEW YORK — The US Customs and Border Protection has issued a ruling confirming that the transportation of LNG produced at New Fortress Energy’s (NFE) FLNG facility offshore Altamira, Mexico, by non-US qualified vessels would not violate the Jones Act.
As a result of this ruling, NFE is now able to sell and deliver LNG produced at its FLNG facility offshore Mexico to US locations, including Puerto Rico.
“We are extremely pleased to receive this ruling for our FLNG facility since it not only supports one of the company’s largest projects but also supports the people of Puerto Rico,” said Wes Edens, NFE chairman and CEO.
