The AES Dominicana Liquefied Natural Gas reception terminal, located in the AES Andres energy complex, has completed the modifications to allow for re-loading and re-exportation of LNG to neighboring Caribbean islands and Central American countries.
The information was provided by George Nemeth, Director of LNG Business Development at AES Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean (MCAC) during the 17th Annual Conference on Energy in the Caribbean organized by the Platts international institute, held in the Dominican Republic from January 26 to 27.
According to Nemeth, nine million dollars were invested in the project to build the new installations of the “AES Andres Marine Facility,” which consisted in adapting the existing LNG Reception Terminal to be a port of entry and exit for ships as small as 10,000 cubic meters, which can be filled directly from the existing LNG receiving terminal jetty. For smaller customers, AES will load LNG into ISO tanks at the Liquefied Natural Gas Truck Terminal so that LNG can be delivered via container vessels to neighboring countries. AES has recently begun exporting LNG to the Caribbean via ISO containers.
“This is a highly innovative project that counts on all the guarantees of safety and reliability in addition to the experience that all our professionals have in AES Dominicana that for more than 13 years have successfully operated the LNG terminal and during seven years the terminal to fill trucks,” affirms Edwin De los Santos, president of AES Dominicana.
