LNG shipments from Yemen have been cleared by the US Coast Guard for entry into the Distrigas terminal in Everett outside Boston, in the face of local opposition.
BW Gas and Höegh LNG ships chartered by Distrigas owner GDF Suez would begin calling from Yemen from the end of February. Distrigas has signed a 20-year contract with a Yemeni supplier and expects to bring in up to 30 shipments a year to its Everett facility. The imminent delivery would be only the second from Yemen to the United States. A tanker carrying Yemeni LNG arrived earlier this week in less-populous Sabine, Texas, according to John Healey, Coast Guard captain of the port of Boston, who said the Coast Guard spent a year reviewing security plans for the Yemeni shipments.
