Cove Point LNG Loads 100th Commercial Ship

Dominion Energy announced today the Cove Point LNG Terminal has loaded its 100th commercial LNG ship on November 11th, 2019.

Located in Lusby, Maryland, the Cove Point LNG Terminal entered commercial operation on April 9, 2018. Cove Point produces LNG under 20-year contracts for ST Cove Point, a joint venture of Sumitomo Corporation and Tokyo Gas, and for Gail Global (USA) LNG, the U.S. affiliate of GAIL (India) LTD.

"This is a major milestone for Dominion Energy and our country as a whole," said Paul Ruppert, Dominion Energy's President of Gas Transmission and Storage. "It reflects not only the world-class design and operational excellence of our facility, but also the environmental progress we are making by reducing global reliance on coal, oil and other carbon-intensive energy sources," Ruppert continued.

The facility has a nameplate capacity of 5.25 mtpa of LNG. To date Cove Point LNG has exported LNG to more than 20 countries.
